I am wondering if anyone knows when Disney World will release its park reservations for 2024. Currently, it ends on January 18, 2024. Thanks in advance.

When the 2024 vacation packages are released which is likely in June.
I totally agree. It's been a nightmare so far. Thanks for the reply.

And that's why I go to Universal and Sea World parks instead no Ressies, No Genies, no worries..

Deep breathes folks, summer of 2024 is 14 months away, and parks will undoubtedly not fill up quite that fast. I'm planning my 2023 August trip and every park has availability, I'll probably reserve with no issue next month.
Exactly what is causing the concern (real question)? Are you concerned thepark you want will have no more availability?

Plenty of time for other details to be prioritized. I also hate this need and see it as a useless detail that has to be scheduled for a trip to happen. It robs us of the freedom to go where we want when we want on a vacation we paid for.
I agree and dont understand why people stress about park reservations so far out.
To be clear, I can't stand the park reservation system. Mainly due to the 2 pm.park hopping rule. But unless it's a major Holliday, you can get a park reservation at all the parks within few days. It's not that critical.

Honestly, here is MY MAJOR problem with it.
On our last trip we bought 7 single park days for 3 weeks in Orlando.
Those 7 days only gave us 10 days to pre-book.
With little kids we only go every other day. They should be giving 14 days or more to pre book your park days when you buy 7. Basically double giving you ample time to rest between park days.
When we were rebooting after those 10 days, Kindgom and Studios were sold out in mid Oct.
It's crazy.....it should always be first come first served.....you want to get in, wake up.
The reservation system is in place for one reason, to save TWDC money with staffing. That's it......its BS that they are trying to spin this off as a customer centered idea.
Also, lay off on all of the extra hours ticket events. It sends huge crowds to the other parks when MK closes early. Enough with the money grabs already its getting insane.

I suspect it isn’t a “major concern” as much as wanting to get the parks booked having booked their vacation.
Everything you read before and after booking says “check / make your park reservations”. So they really should have 2024 open as soon as they start selling 2024 vacations.

The need for it disappeared a long time ago.
I completely agree that the park reservations system is BS. Your situation is a prime example .
My post was just referring to people worrying about getting a park reservation or trying to make a park reservation 10 months out.
I do like the After Hour events tho. Not the ones that close the park early like Boo yo You, but the actual after hours where you get a nearly empty park from 9pm to midnight.

it maybe the same reason that they don't publish park hours that far out.

Wouldn't it be great if Disney had some incentive for making genie reservations/lightning lane for people staying on property besides booking at 7am. Perhaps, booking the evening before. 7am is pretty early to make reservations for rides. Do you agree?

At least with Fast Passes, people only had to get up one day so early rather than their whole vacations to make reservations for rides. , ,

Why should people have to do every park?

That's what Disney would like. Technically that's what the reservation system is for. To push guests to each park as equal as possible.

I was trying to carry on with my thought. Oh well, didn't turn out so great. . .
