    If I only book just the hotel at Disney world and I had to cancel do I get my deposit back

    Hiya Elizabeth!  

    Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your question about your hotel cancellation. I’m so sorry to hear you might have to cancel your trip. I know that’s never an easy decision, especially when a visit to Disney World is on the calendar. Sometimes life just changes our plans, and that’s okay.  

    Let’s jump right into your question. For a room-only reservation, you’ll receive a full refund of your deposit as long as you cancel at least 8 days prior to your arrival date. You can easily cancel or modify your reservation by logging into your My Disney Experience account and selecting “My Plans.” From there, just choose to modify or cancel your reservation. You can also call a friendly Cast Member with Tickets and Hotel Reservations if you prefer a little extra help. 

    One important thing to keep in mind is that canceling your hotel reservation does not automatically cancel any dining reservations or other experiences you may have booked. So, be sure to go back into your plans and cancel those separately so everything is taken care of. 

    Elizabeth, I hope this helps make things a little easier during a not-so-magical moment. I truly hope you’ll be able to reschedule and get back to the magic soon. If you have any other questions, feel free to visit us again. 

    See you real soon, 

    Christina
