Alright, so you’re thinking about hitting up Disney World next year, huh? Good call! And guess what? Starting April 22nd, you can officially lock in your 2026 Disney World trip. They’re opening up bookings for dates all the way through October 31st, 2026, so you’ve got plenty of time to figure out your vibe.
Seriously though, 2026 is gonna be pretty sweet for a Disney getaway – especially if you’ve got kiddos in tow.
Dude, Free Food for the Little Ones in 2026!
Okay, listen to this. All throughout 2026, if you crash at one of their like, bajillion (okay, over 25) Disney Resort hotels, your kids – ages 3 to 9 – can eat for FREE. Yep, you heard that right. You just gotta grab a dining plan for the grown-ups in your crew (10 and up) as part of your whole package.
Think about it – less cash outta your pocket for grub. Plus, you don’t have to stress about where to grab a bite. They’ve got tons of spots, from chill meals to quick snacks and all the kid-friendly stuff you can imagine.
And get this – this free kid-eats thing might even stack with other deals they throw out later for 2026. Score!
Chillin’ at a Disney Resort in ’26? Here’s the Lowdown:
Let’s be real, being right there in the Disney bubble is just… easy. You’ve got all the parks practically at your doorstep, plus all the entertainment, food spots, and shops you could want. Staying at a Disney Resort? It just makes the whole multi-day vacation thing a breeze, whether it’s a big family trip, a special occasion, or just a craving for some rides and good eats.
More Park Time? No Sweat!
Good news for you early birds (or those who just wanna beat the crowds). Through 2026, if you’re staying at a Disney Resort, you get to stroll into the parks 30 minutes early every day, at every park. That’s extra time to hit up your favorite rides before everyone else rolls in. Pretty sweet, right?
And if you’re staying at one of those fancy Deluxe or Villa Resorts? You get even more chill time with extended evening hours at certain parks on certain nights. More magic, less rush.
*You’ll still need a park ticket to get in, just FYI.
Easy Peasy Transportation, Free Parking, the Whole Shebang:
Disney’s got your back when it comes to getting around and saving a few bucks:
- Free rides everywhere! Monorail, boats, buses, that cool Skyliner thing – hop on and off, no worries.
- Parking’s on the house at the hotels, theme parks, and water parks. Less to think about.
- Get a head start on food and ride planning. You can book dining and Lightning Lane way earlier than everyone else for your whole trip. Plus, you get first dibs on tickets for those special events.
- Heads up for Summer ’26: If you’re staying at a Disney Resort, you might just snag free water park entry on your check-in day (they’ll let us know the exact dates later, so keep an eye out). Sounds like a cool way to kick off your vacay.
So, if you’re thinking about a Disney World adventure in 2026, now’s the time to start dreaming. You can officially book your trip starting April 22nd for visits happening through October 31st, 2026. They’ll open up bookings for November and December later on.
Can’t wait that long? No sweat! They’ve got some cool deals happening right now for 2025 stays and tickets, so you can get your Disney fix sooner rather than later. Go check it out!
