Itโs time to start planning your next Disney World vacation!

Cinderella Castle
You might be thinking, โMy vacation is already booked! Itโs summer NOW!โ Yeah, we mean NEXT yearโs vacation. If youโre like us and thrive off planning your next Disney World vacation, this post is for you. (Pssstttโฆ Lots of BIG changes are coming, so you might wanna listen up!)
Bookings are NOW OPEN for 2024 vacation packages at Disney World, which means that you can officially begin planning. You can now purchase theme park tickets, make hotel reservations, and book full vacation packages for your 2024 trip. We only had to wait in an online queue for a short time before we were able to start booking the packages. Remember that you can book these packages online or over the phone. The phone number to call for booking tickets, reservations, and packages is (407) 939-5277.
UPDATE: As of 7:20ET, Disney has paused online bookings for 2024 vacation packages. Bookings via phone also appear to be suspended. Disney shared the following message on its website:
We have a feeling that a lot of Disney fans will be headed into the park in 2024 due to some highly anticipated changes (hello, Tianaโs Bayou Adventure!), so you might want to book your 2024 vacation as soon as possible. So, what exactly is changing at Disney World next year?
Well, the Disney Dining Plan is set to return in 2024, for starters! If you love to munch on some Disney snacks as much as we do, then 2024 is your time to shine. Two plans will be offered: The Disney Quick Service Dining Plan and a Standard Disney Dining Plan.
Starting now, you can add the Disney Dining Plan to 2024 vacation packages (for trips that start on or after January 9th). 2024 is the year of SNACKS, mark our words!
While we donโt know the specifics of this next change, Disney is hoping to simplify the user experience when it comes to Genie+.
If you missed the days of selecting some FastPass+ reservations in ADVANCE of your trip, you may be in luck. Disney has acknowledged that theyโve heard guests saying they wish they could โplan with Disney Genie+ service and individual Lightning Lane selections before the day of their park visitโ and Disney has shared that theyโre โworking on ways guests may do this for visits in 2024.โ
According to Disney, their goal is to โgive you the opportunity to spend less time planning in the park and more time enjoying your visit with friends and family.โ They havenโt revealed just what those changes will be yet, but more details are set to be released at a future date. It seems the overall goal will be to โsimplifyโ your Genie+ experience.
One last thing: extended park hours for hotel guests will stick around in 2024! Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours will continue at all four parks for guests staying at Disney World hotels.
