Hi Taylor! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
As a mom that plans our family trips more than a year in advance, I totally understand wanting to book a vacation when it is the most budget-friendly. The great news is that Disney makes it easy to snag the best deal leading up to your trip!
At this time, you can make room-only reservations for next year by calling (407) 939-1936, or you can wait until the online
vacation packages open in the summer. This typically happens around June-July. I like to book our vacation packages as early as possible to make sure I am able to get the room category we need at the
Disney Resort hotel we want to stay in. Then, I watch the
Special Offers page for any promotions that apply to the dates of our trip. Once I see an offer that applies to our vacation, I call and speak with a Cast Member at (407) 939-5277. The Cast Members make it so easy to update our trip with the new discount/promotion and apply it while we're on the phone. They always let me know the updated cost for our trip and it is great to see the savings!
Enjoy planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation, Taylor! Please visit us again with any other questions you may have!
