Hi Gloria! Welcome to planDisney! It's great to have you stop by!
As you are aware, bookings for November 2026 are not currently available at this time. While there is no timetable for when these dates will open up, I would expect them to be released sometime in the near future. I'm sure you are eager to officially book your trip, so I suggest checking back periodically for any updates.
Typically, the
holiday season begins around your anticipated arrival in early November. Walt Disney World begins to transform with festive decor and holiday offerings across the parks. Special holiday events will usually begin around this time, with many of them requiring a special entry ticket. This year, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney Jollywood Nights are returning on select nights at the Magic Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios. We'll have to wait and see what returns in 2026!
When it comes time to book your stay, the easiest way to do so is by using the
"Build Your Vacation" toolbar located at the top of the Walt Disney World website. You'll need to enter the date range and the number of Guests in your party. A host of Disney Resort hotels will appear for you to choose from. Then, you'll be prompted to select your ticket package along with any additional selections for your stay. This may include the
Disney Dining Plan, which is the best way to pre-plan your meals and create a more all-inclusive experience.
Gloria, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney with any additional Disney vacation planning questions!
