Update February 2025: Walt Disney World 2026 is now booking for UK guests. See our article Walt Disney World 2026 Dates Officially Go On Sale for more details or click here to search 2026 dates.
I know how exciting it is to start thinking about your next Walt Disney World holiday, and many British guests are starting to think about their 2026 Walt Disney World plans - I know I am! You can currently book your Walt Disney World package through 2025 with the last check-in day being 31st December 2025.
When Can You Book Walt Disney World 2026
Historically, Disney releases dates for the entire year at the start of the year prior. So for example, for 2025 bookings, Disney released all of the 2025 dates on February 13th, 2024. So for 2026 dates, we expect Walt Disney World bookings to go on sale in January or February 2025.
However, TUI and Virgin have both released 2026 bookings in November of 2024, much earlier than usual! It's unclear how as Disney is currently not selling 2026 directly, but you are now able to secure a 2026 holiday through TUI and Virgin at this time.
What To Watch Out For With 2026 Bookings
Although there are rare exceptions, generally speaking until Disney Holidays releases dates to book, they're not available for travel agents to book either. Many readers have told us about being burned by travel agents who take advantage of excited guests who want to book early by "booking" dates that aren't actually available yet. What they do is take your deposit guess the price the holiday will be and then actually book it when the dates go live. This can often lead to price changes when this happens. If you've experienced it, you'll know all about it. So please be careful and keep up to date with the Disney Holidays website when dates are officially available.
