Hello there, Michele!
Welcome to planDisney and, “Hooray! You’re going to Walt Disney World!”. You must be so excited that your trip is right around the corner. Now it’s the fun part, planning all the fun details before you arrive. Things like
dining reservations and any other
extras you may want to add. My family always plans to add one new thing each visit. Next time, we are considering a Capture Your Moment session.
When it comes to making payments towards an existing reservation, only the Guest who made the reservation can make payments online. Any other Guest listed on the reservation can make payments by
calling and speaking with a Cast Member. The Cast Member will verify your My Disney Experience account and ask for your name, reservation number, and the last name of the Guest who made the reservation. After they have verified that you are on the reservation, you can complete your payment over the phone.
Another great option is surprising the lead Guest with a
Disney Gift Card so that they can use it towards the reservation payments. My family always gives my little ones Disney Gift Cards before our trips so that they can make their souvenir purchases independently. Plus, the gift cards are reloadable! So you all can hang on to the one you purchased and reload it to use towards meals when you arrive. It’s just another easy way to stay on budget. My family loves using them!
Michele, I hope this has helped answer your question so that you can continue to plan for this visit! If there’s anything else we can help with, you know where
to find us!
Have a magical visit,
Shantel
