When to start planning/making reservations? Summer 2021

[Raya]

Given the current situation with park reservations, what's the latest you think you could plan a trip? Like if I was toying with going in July, could I wait until June to reserve or is it already too late?

Reservations are already booked at some parks into the first week of July. Waiting til June sounds iffy unless capacity is increased.

Look at the Disney parks availability calendar. Disney Hollywood Studios is booked out most days through July 9. If you want to go to Hollywood Studios in July, you should book ASAP.

If you’re gonna wait until June there’s a good chance you won’t be able to make reservations for all four parks. Keep an eye on the availability calendar.

We booked a trip for mid-June last night. Plenty of park availability for me and my husband with our APs. But we’re taking my niece with us, and it was touch and go with her park reservations as a resort guest. I got all four parks, but it was tight.

We are going in July and November. Reservations are already made as well as park reservations. My daughter's friend has missed out on two trips this year because she delayed getting tickets to make the park reservations then they were gone.

Also if you are unsure if you are going now but will definitely go at some point you could buy tickets and make the park reservations and then just keep the tickets if you don't go now. They "expire" eventually but I'm pretty sure you can use their value for new tickets.

Its time to make plans now if you can. Every day you wait risks HS getting booked up. That being said, DD29 just planned a trip a couple weeks ago for May 13 and 14. She was willing to work with what was available which was no HS and low ADR availability. She will hop to HS one afternoon knowing Rise will not be possible, and will eat at quick service and lounges like Nomad's. Now there are no Park Pass reservations avaiable for any park for her dates. It seems that for most dates HS goes first then MK, then AK, with EP filling up last. Good luck to you!

My response on another thread.

On Easter, I realized that we needed to jump on park reservations for June 16 to 19th and even extended our vacation by a day as DHS was not available until the 18th. All the parks were filling up fast.

I would not wait if you want to visit all parks.

I ordered my tickets as soon as girlfriend got her vaccine appointment and my vacation had been approved, made park reservations the next day. That was mid March for late June.

It wouldn't wait over 3 months prior if I wanted to go to all four parks at opening. Even dining reservations are hard to get at 60 days out for many restaurants.

Book now if you want to go this summer. We booked a last min trip this past Friday and while not ideal, we only were able to get Epcot and hopped to MK but if you want to visit DHS at all and actually ride ROTR, you need to have plans made ASAP. If riding ROTR isn't a big deal then you can just hop but if you don't already have a park hopping AP or plan to purchase tickets with park hopping, it's an extra expense that you can avoid if not necessary.

Check the Park Pass calendar as others have mentioned.

We booked a couple of weeks ago for June 13 - 20 and were unable to get HS at all. I could only get MK for Saturday. I know we can park hop, but we won't get to try for RoTR. I'm pretty bummed about that.

Now! Book your resort and buy tickets. You can add a discount when they come out and make park reservations. Park reservations are filling up quick.
