Do you already know your 2026 and 2027 travel plans?

[Orbiter_Fan]

Does it count if you have a FW? If yes, then we have plans through 2070 on our RIV contract.

That being said, we haven't actually stayed during our FW and will not through at least our 1st 3 years. We just purchased last year and used our 2024 points for the Princess Half-Marathon this past Feb. We're using our 2025 points for a Vero stay this fall and our 2026 points for the full marathon in January. Maybe we'll use it in 2027, but I have a feeling between the races and potential add-on-itis, our plans will remain fluid for some time.

Wow, that's awesome. Are you vacationing the whole month of September?!?!

3 weeks! Most are 4 night stays, I am the queen of split stays lol, I just love them!

Given my new adventure, I know when I will do DVC every year as that doesn’t change.

But, for the other trips, like cruises, those are only decided through 2026!

Ha! Sandi, we are the other way around! We have all of our cruising planned through August of 2026 (6 cruises! - 3 Virgin Voyages, 1 HAL, 1 Carnival, and a Viking River Cruise), however, we only have DVC stays planned through this August (a week at CFW). I will also grab a couple days at WDW or maybe Vero before our Thanksgiving week cruise. We'll see what is available in a couple of days.

For the first time in a long time, we actually don't have a DCL cruise planned. We were going to sail the Destiny over Thanksgiving week, but we needed to switch out an August Virgin MNVV (which gives us $600 OBC) that wasn't going to work anymore, so switched to a 5-night VV that was about half of the 4 night Destiny cruise.

As to DVC, we've kind of gotten to where we want to stay at CFW, but it is really hard to get into at 7 months, so you've got to be right on at 7:00am CST. Other than that, we just kind of pick up random days here or there when we want to go. We usually go for MNSSHP over Labor Day, but Alabama's game at Florida State has trumped that for this upcoming year, so no, nothing really on the books...

I am pretty set in when I go each year. For DL, I like the specific resorts for different visits. But WDW, I am always open to choosing. Here is the current schedule.

• March 2025 - WDW - split stay AKV Jambo / Riviera
• May 2025 - short staycation at VDH for May the Fourth Be With You (Star Wars Day)
• July 2025 - staycation at VGC for Disneyland's anniversary
• September 2025 - currently booked at Beach Club in 1 bedroom, but thinking of changing to Aulani as will have elderly parents. So still thinking on this one...
• December 2025 - staycation at VGC for a holiday time visit
• March 2026 - will book AKV and then see what might be available at 7 months
• May 2026 - VDH for Star Wars again
• July 2026 - VGC for Disneyland anniversary
• September 2026 - hopefully WDW and will decide on resort closer to that time
• December 2026 - VGC for holiday time visit

2027 - see above for 2026 as it will be pretty similar!

 

[juliebee]

I have 2025 booked and hopes for the 2026 and 2027 years.

May 2025- Boulder Ridge and Boardwalk
Sept 2025- Aulani
Dec 2025- Boulder Ridge

Spring 2026- Grand Cal (if possible)
Nov/Dec 2026- Boulder Ridge or maybe BLT

2027- maybe rent out points/exchange for Universal Florida trip. Hopefully Epic Universe crowds will settle down by then.

Should be another vote,,,,no plans going forward yet.
Hate to be Debbie downer,,we used to have plans a couple of years in advance, was even looking at next April for daughters grad trip. But everything on hold for now with the way all is going. That's as political as I am going with this.
We will be back up and planning in 4 years.

 

[radiodome21]

My wife and I have recently gotten into rundDisney races having mastered 1 so far. We’ve have tentatively scheduled our next year’s trip, which would be around Easter. But I do want to do another race, preferably the Spring Surprise. But we might shoot for the Princess weekend if we can get into the half marathon maybe and if not then pivot to another race.

 

[Headless]

2025 is all booked for us. Just need to wait to do Dining and other reservations. August at AKL with my sister and her family.

2026 funny enough we started talking about yesterday while walking the dog. We tend to do one big trip and have in the past bounced Sept and Dec, this is our first year deviating together. I'm tentatively planning sept, 1 bedroom Riviera and then split stay somewhere. I want to shoot for Beach Club but Poly is also right up there on my todo list.

I want to throw something else in the mix for 26. Either Disneyland or a cruise or Alunai with us living on the west coast at the moment I want to take advantage of that before he head back east eventually. Wife also wants to do Universal in 26 to fully experience that (we haven't been) so I'm starting to do my long homework/iron out the details process.

 

[kilik64]

Using a lot of points on our end of May trip this year, so only have 49 points for next year. Might end up taking a year off, but will most likely shoot for a PVB longhouse or another 5 person studio for 6 nights end of May/first of June 2026. That's why borrowing is a thing lol

 

[LadybugsMum]

I've got kids in year round school; so our times we can come are always set. Well, until they go to high school and then we have the traditional calendar breaks to deal with. 2025 is well set and 2026 is mostly set. I can't get our reservations yet since they are for May and either Sep or Dec. The May reservation will be at Disneyland so I've got to wait for the 7 month mark to make that one.

Fun! I have three Virgin set already and get to review the Disney Dream in a few weeks!

The new NCL Aqua is amazing and it’s slidecoaster ride is sooo cool! I got to try it last week in 35 degree weather!!

Sorry,,, I am off topic…it’s fun to have lots of travel set!!

 

[muppets3d]

I have a few 2025 stays left to book as I'm not within the 7 month window yet. I have one 2026 stay booked, one will be booked at the 12 month mark as it is a favorite week, and the rest is all conceptual at this point.

 

[BaybeeYoda]

December 2025 Xmas week- boardwalk std studio

June 2026- 2 weeks Disney (?)

I can’t think that far ahead.

I gather you are not in the US? I need a Disney vacation living here just to escape politics. It is a breath of fresh air for me when everything else is political.

This is a positive I get to look forward to doing, which is good for the soul.

 

[Memorymakerfor4]

We're planned through 2026 with a pretty good idea about how 2027 will go. I really like to set foot on WDW property once a year, how long depends on whether or not we're cruising or going to Aulani.
