I know park reservations might book quickly for the week before Christmas. We are going 12/17-24. Do you have a recommendation for how far in advance we need to get our park reservations for that week? Thanks!

It’s hard to say, nobody knows for sure.
If we wanted certain parks on certain days that trip, getting it squared before Labor Day seems like a safe bet.

Yes. I had mine done for this October trip the moment we bought the tickets last November. I see people constantly complaining on WDW Facebook groups that they waited to book their parks and now they are all booked up and the person cannot get a park reservation.For real? We're 7 months out
Book your parks now and then go back and change them later if you need to.

Now would be preferable.
Parks will fill up.

If you have your tickets, I'd do it now. You can change later if they are available. But why not now? I like going into My Plans and seeing my park passes for my early December trip, which I've had since I was able to make them. I've already shifted a few things around, but I'd rather have a PP than not. At the very least, make them all for MGM (which usually books up first), then change when you have firmer plans (or when MGM begins to book up).

Look at it this way - when 2023 WDW packages go on sale on June 8, those guests will start making their Park Pass Reservations for their dates in 2023. Guests book far in advance, parks will fill up, especially at peak times.For real? We're 7 months out

That's the thing - we don't have our tickets yet. We were going to wait and see when/if the Christmas party dates are announced and prices so we could plan our whole week accordingly and then buy the actual tickets.

If you base it on the past and the fact the parties are usually Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday then you are looking at maybe the 18th 20th and 22nd.
Personally I would recommend booking a package if you are staying on-site and pivking yiur park pass reservations now and then you can modify your tickets later if you would like to drop a day or two.
Staying on site and already being booked will also allow you to purchase party ticket as sooner than offsite or those staying on site who have yet to b09k.

Well then really just purchase your tickets as soon as you know what's going on with the party and book your park pass reservations immediately following purchase.
Disney is likely to announce dates and prices soon.

I agree book them now, you can always cancel it. Especially for MK and Hollywood Studios. I have a trip in a few weeks and thought I might tweak it but those two parks had very limited availability so I kept.my plans as is.
