Do you already know your 2026 and 2027 travel plans?

[CarolynFH]

LOL, I just changed my vote because we moved our January 2026 trip to December 2025, and we don’t have plans for 2026 yet!

 

[supercarrie]

Our 2025 is planned - although I literally just added an extra trip to Orlando on Monday for Destination D23 in August...so we'll see.

Rest of 2025 (including non Disney vacations):

June: Navigator of the Seas cruise
August: Big Bear, CA lake house with family
end of August: Destination D23, potentially Epcot after hours (gasp, might have to stay offsite for this one. I'm out of points. )
September: Vegas
November: Japan, including Tokyo Disneyland

2026:
still discussing...I have a placeholder reservation for February split between BLT and Riv (our home resorts)

Other ideas we are kicking around:
-WDW trip, Brightline train to Ft. Lauderdale, Disney Destiny cruise
-Aulani
-Star of the Seas cruise with WDW bookending it
-Disney Adventure out of Singapore
-We probably need to visit London in the next 1-2 years to see my husband's family, so would tack on DLP when we next go

We try to do two big trips a year with several smaller long weekend trips in between. Thinking spring/fall for the big trips.

 

[TCRAIG]

I pretty much go to WDW 3-4 times a year around the same dates and Disney Hilton Head 2 holiday weekends per year and have enough points to cover everything..so I guess I at least have my Disney trips planned thru Jan 2042…

 

[MarkNC2Disney]

I would say our plans are in flux! We normally spend a split stay week (Poly/Riv) at WDW every summer. This year, we’re trying a few new resorts - AKL, CFW, and HH. I could easily see us loving HH as an easy drive from NC and skipping WDW next year.

I changed my vote from 2025 to 2027

Last year was my 40th bday and our 10 year anniversary, so our big trip was to England, Scotland, and Ireland. We hadn’t planned on much travel this year, but we bought the MMB and used points to buy APs, so trips this year are basically “free,” haha.

So now this year we are heading to WDW twice. A short 4 night getaway in May in a studio at AKL-Jambo, and then we are staying 8 nights in a BRV 1br in August. We have friends taking a 3 week Orlando holiday from the UK, so we are going to join them for a week!

With a Dec UY, there goes all our points for 2025 plus some OTU points

2026 is my DH’s 40th, plus our UK friends hubby’s 40th. Since they toured us around the UK for a few days last year during our trip, we plan on doing the same next year for them in our area. Dollywood, the Appalachian trail, NASCAR. Lots of good redneck fun, haha.

Knowing me, we'll probably use our APs and go to WDW in the spring for a few days, as well, borrowing our 2026 Dec UY points. Because Disneymath (DVC + AP + driving = free?).

2027 we plan on going back to London for a couple days and then popping over to Disneyland Paris all together!

We'll either just save up the points to not be in a constant state of borrowing, or rent some out to help cover DLP!

 

[wabbott]

Still working on a late fall trip to PC Beach, FL, maybe the last week in October.

 

[kgou]

Ohhh I love this question. I have a Feb UY and so far only have plans for 2025. Last two years we have done 2 trips a year and this year will be the first with 1 trip. We've only been members since 2023 so I'm trying to figure out how we'll be using our points/what the right number of trips is for us.

2025:
WDW in Nov over Thanksgiving, currently booked at SSR but trying my luck at the 7 month mark next week. Hoping to move to a 1BD Pool/Garden view at BWV and waitlist 2BD BRV, 1BD VGF, 1BD PIT, 1 BD BLT.

Really unsure beyond that!! 2026 Memorial Day weekend for a few nights possibly ...need to look at school calendars

well, my kids and husband have started talking about WDW for spring break 2026 ...off to plan since I can book in just a few weeks!

 

[Zubon]

We are planning to use 4 use years within 12 months, so advance planning was needed.

We had one small trip this year and will be banking most points into 2026. In late September 2025, we will buy annual passes before the usual October price increase but not use them until late September 2026. We have three planned trips with friends and family in September 2026, January 2027, and September 2027.

Our three trips under those annual passes cross two use years. We bank from 2025 and borrow from 2028. If we want another binge year like that, we could plan now to bank 2029, travel in 2030-2031, and borrow from 2032. Wow it feels weird to be sketching out the use of 2032 DVC points in 2025.

 

[Cfabar1]

We live in over and underplanning.....

We have our March and May WDW trips booked this year.... We also have a November trip booked off property.

For example - we currently have two cruises booked for September - one 3 night, one 5 night... not sure which we will end up taking!

2026 is a little hazier... we are considering not doing our May WDW trip anymore and moving WDW to march only.... We are finding that we only have so many times in the year we can do weeklong trips and aren't sure we want them all to be Disney! But they just relaunched Passholder Days, which is a great time to go! so, who knows....

2026 might see a return to two cruises a year - which likely means one in March or April and one in September. When we did September and November cruises (both on the wish) we loved it, but they were too close to each other.

2027 is likely to be a gap year from Disney and we are likely to do a European trip....

 

[Mouseforward]

May 2025 BCV week
Dec 2025 Parents at RIV
May 2026 due to waitlisting I have stray points so combining them and doing a few days at SSR - with a stay at Universal

Then banking all bankable and taking a year off WDW thinking Virgin Med cruise

 

[JulieBeeRN]

Oooh, I like this question. Planning makes my soul happy.

• May 2025: 7 nights in Northern CA
• June 2025: 5 nights in Cambridge; 7 nights in London (going to Wimbledon)
• Sept/Oct 2025: 20 night split stay at BC, PIT & VGF (2 bed penthouse at PIT)
• Dec 2025: 17 night split stay at SSR, BLT & VGF (GV at VGF)

• Feb 2026: 4 night stay AUL and 7 nights in Maui
• May 2026: 7-night Alaskan cruise on the Magic
• Oct 2026: Planning on split stay; probably at BWV, VGF, & OKW or Kidani
• Dec 2026: Planning on split stay: probably at VGF, CCV, & SSR

• Feb 2027: 5 night cruise on either the Fantasy or Destiny

 

[Skywalker3]

We're moving into uncharted territory around here.
Youngest DS will be 18, and off to college in the fall. DD, 20, back home
We used ALL of our 2025/early 2026 points on Aulani. We can't even borrow until Sept.
DH and I have been putting off planning a big trip to London, never been there, or taken any big trips like that until just last month, did Hawaii. So, maybe in 2026
I am hoping for a trip to Universal this year, probably Oct, 2025 for HHN and Epic.....might try for an August trip, but whew, Florida summers.
So, this is odd for us to not have DVC points readily available, and not have any DVC/Disney plans......but opens new opportunities I think.

 

[MagicDVC]

DVC trips are planned through 2027
Sept 2025: VGC
April 2026: AUL
Nov/Dec 2027: WDW, we have not settled on the resort yet.

 

[DebbieB]

Starting to think about 2026. My AP expires 4/5/2026 so I would like to get a trip in before that. We did Mardi Gras at Universal last year (February), followed by WDW. I’d like to do that again, maybe Riviera.

December 2025 will be VGC home, next year is D23 so will probably do that, typically August. Then December at WDW, Boardwalk home.

 

[TheThousandthSoul]

Just got back from a DCL/WDW trip in March/April 2025.

Here's my plan for End of June 2026:

1- 4 to 5 nights at VB
2- 6 nights at SSR
3- 3 nights at Poly or VGF

 

[mikeuno]

2025 - HHI June, OKW October
2026 - still working it out!

 

[Girlstar30]

Is it pretty pointless to try to put a waitlist for a 5 night stay at HHI this summer?

 

[CarolynFH]

Is it pretty pointless to try to put a waitlist for a 5 night stay at HHI this summer?

Why would it be pointless? It might come in, it might not. And what would you lose if it doesn’t?

 

[Girlstar30]

Nothing just wondering if it is a possibility it could go thru or near impossible to gauge expectations

 

[Jasper&Bowie]

2025 - I had a girls only trip with my daughters and granddaughter in January. Hubby and I will be at SSR in July.
2026 - Trying to talk hubby into Alaska cruise but he won't fly and we live in New Jersey. I'm definitely not driving that far.
2027 - May bank our points as I will be adding extra savings for when I retire at the end of year - just in case there are issues with my pension.
