How far in advance can I book?

[Crazy4DisneyandTink]

My daughter will be graduating from 8th grade in 2017 and we are planning to take her to WDW in July to celebrate. I'd like to start planning and budgeting now. How far in advance can I call to actually book?

Thanks in advance!

Depends on if you're staying on or offsite. Looks like they are only booking until the end of January on the website, so that's about 9 months out. If you're offsite, you can usually book a year in advance or more, depending on where you staying. And you can purchase tickets anytime.

If you want a room only reservation, you can book 499 days in advance, but you must do it by phone. You will be quoted the highest 2016 rack rate and pay your deposit based on that. The balance owing will be adjusted when the 2017 rates come out.

You cannot book a vacation package until the 2017 rates are announced. That will be some time this summer.
