2023 is quickly coming to a close, and that means 2024 is around the corner.

Planning your Disney World trip in advance is essential because there is much to discuss with your group — hotel accommodations, dining reservations, and much more. However, if you’re planning a trip for THESE 2024 dates, it’s of utmost importance that you book your tickets sooner rather than later.

New Year’s Day

January 1st is a massively popular day in Disney World. Who doesn’t want to spend the first day of the new year in the Most Magical Place on Earth?

This will be the fastest to book up since it’s the closest coming up. Since park passes will also still be required on January 1st, you’ll need to make sure you book your tickets and park passes well ahead of time so you can get into your desired park.

February 22nd-25th

In late February, many Disney fans will flock to the parks for the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend.

After the racers finish running, they head into the parks with their families to enjoy the day. While park passes won’t be in effect for those with date-based tickets at this time, we still suggest getting your hotel reservations in order ASAP, because your favorite hotel may fill up.

Late March to Mid April

Spring Break is in full effect from late March into the middle of April, so if you’re planning to head to the parks for your spring break, make those reservations ASAP.

This is one of the busiest times in the park and can be jarring since it comes out of a much slower season. Many families and school groups take trips during this time, so value hotels may be the first to fill up months in advance — make sure you’re ahead of that surge.

Thanksgiving Week

Most kids in school are off the week of Thanksgiving, and therefore the parks are usually overflowing with families.

You’ll especially want to watch out for the weekend after Thanksgiving, which can often be busier than Thanksgiving Day itself. Not only is it a holiday, but many people think of this as the true start to the holiday season, and many want to be in the parks to witness it.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Just like Thanksgiving, the week leading up to the holiday is busy, but Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are what you really want to look out for.

Similar to New Year’s Day, many families and individuals can’t think of any place better to celebrate the holiday than Disney World. If you’re planning to spend these days staying on property and in the parks, we suggest having your trip booked no later than around 6 months in advance.

New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve is no different than New Year’s Day in crowd levels often — why not spend the last day of 2024 in your favorite Disney World park?

Park capacity can fill up fast on this day, so this is another trip we suggest having booked in full no later than 4-5 months in advance.

Party Nights and Special Ticketed Events

If you’re planning on attending one of Disney World’s special ticketed events (like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, After-Hours Events, etc.), these can sell out VERY fast, so you’ll want to grab a ticket as soon as you know you’d like to attend.

For example, at the time of writing, we’re about a month out from the final night of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and ALL remaining events have sold out. Many events will be the same — if you wait until there is a month left until your event, tickets may be gone.

As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest and greatest Disney news!
