Does anyone know when Universal starts allowing booking of tickets/hotels/packages for the following year (specifically, Jan 2026)?

They've lost at least some of my business. I was going to get a hotel, granted just for a night, along with my ticket but I only want/need one day and don't want to book a package.

Would be a horrible look to do so this close in. I've already got a hotel booked for a five day trip beginning 1/10 and can't purchase tickets.

I hear you with that. I reserved 3 rooms for the entire family and was thinking of inviting extended family but the whole thing is on hold until either the tickets are released so I can buy everyone a starter pack or I get so irritated I change plans ... I am getting more annoyed as time goes on and have been considering a big trip to Disney Land in California as a something new. I have a tipping point where I just opt out of most things, comes a time when the juice just isn't worth the squeeze.

I've had a week in January booked at the Helios Grand since December. I find it odd that we can book a room over a year in advance but still can't get tickets 3 months out. Right now I am budgeting based on late December prices. I also want to know if it will be more cost effective to purchase an AP for my husband (this trip will probably be the only time he goes next year) Or just buy individual tickets.
The 2 main things that are keeping me from canceling are: my family members are really looking forward to this trip and have not been to Epic yet, and I don't think I will ever get the incredible rate I have at Helios again.
