Planning Ahead for Park Reservations

[ZeeWP]

I think this is my first post! I might have posted a couple of years ago, doubt it though Long time lurker though!

I notice that park reservations for some parks are already gone for the week of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Around when did they disappear? Before July? Spring?

I am going next year with my crew of eight. We just put in our deposit for our rooms. I wanted to buy our tickets and make our park reservations in time while also allowing time for our crew to back out or change plans. (And yes--a lot can change in the next year and will change, but still, want to be prepared!)

Welcome to DISboards!!

When are you planning on visiting WDW? Unless it's a bigger holiday time you have time to wait for sure. I'm pretty sure the reservations for Thanksgiving and Christmas started filling up for some parks this year in the spring.

Christmas day and New Year’s Eve were still available up until about a week ago before finally turning yellow. Thanksgiving week started getting filled up around the middle of July. Back about 8 weeks or so the days around Thanksgiving were briefly filled but they obviously upped the crowd level because everything went green again for a while.

Thank you! That gives me a good timeline on when to purchase tickets and get park reservations.
