    I am wondering when Disney will open up reservations for Christmas 2026 for Disney World?

    Hi Gary. Welcome to planDisney. 

    It may be summer, but you're hopping on a sleigh to visit us at planDisney because you are ready to plan for a blizzard of fun in 2026! I can't love this question more. It's never too early to plan for festive fun! 

    Currently, reservations can be made through October 2026. While I don't have information about when the dates for December 2026 will be released, I can share that last year, those dates were made available in mid-summer. So we could see these dates become available at any time. For the most up-to-date information, keep checking the Walt Disney World website and the Disney Parks Blog. 

    While we wait for the release of these dates, now is the time to create your Disney wish list for the perfect holiday! With seasonal offerings like Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, Jollywood Nights, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and festive activities at Disney Springs, now is the perfect moment to start thinking about which holiday attractions you want to experience on your Disney visit.

    Speaking of creating a Christmas wish list, when Santa Claus makes his list and checks it twice, he knows that Disney Gift Cards are at the top of my wish list, making my season bright! I use these gift cards to buy food, souvenirs, and even to purchase my Lightning Lane Passes! I hope you'll find many gift cards under your tree! 

    Feel free to reach out to us anytime as you plan your holiday. As panelists, we absolutely love the Christmas season and are always oh-so-happy to share our suggestions and recommendations. From which Resort hotels have the most beautiful holiday decorations to where you can find the most delicious Christmastime treats, we're here to help. I know you will love celebrating the holidays in The Most Magical Place on Earth! I hope you'll stop by again. 

    Happy festive planning, 
    Shonette
