    How soon in advance can a room reservation be made

    Hi Richard! Welcome to planDisney!

    Choosing where to stay is one of my favorite parts of planning a Walt Disney World vacation. Each Disney Resort hotel has its own personality and little pockets of magic. I recently stayed in a Theme Park View room at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and getting to watch Happily Ever After from the balcony each night? Absolute swoon! It was the most magical way to wrap up a perfect day in the most dazzling way. Memories that my kids and I will not soon forget! 

    Right now, the Walt Disney World Resort website is showing Disney Resort hotel availability through December 31, 2026. So if your travel dates fall within that window, you can go ahead and book your stay today right on the Walt Disney World website or through the My Disney Experience app.

    If you’re hoping to visit in 2027, those dates haven’t been released yet. I always recommend keeping an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for an announcement that new dates have been added for booking availability. You can also check back directly on the website for future dates to populate. 

    My best tip? Book as soon as your dates become available, especially if you have your heart set on a specific resort or room type. Some of the most popular options can fill up quickly. And if a special offer pops up later (which Disney does from time to time), you can always check whether it can be applied to your existing reservation! I always start on the special offers page so I can take advantage of any magical deal that works with my dates. 

    Richard, I hope your Disney countdown begins soon! Planning is half the fun, and if more questions pop up along the way, please do come back and visit us again. We love helping Guests make the magic happen!

    See ya real soon,
