Welcome to planDisney, Sandy! Getting a jump on your 2027 Disneyland Resort vacation plans is a wonderful idea. One of the biggest advantages of planning early is having extra flexibility when it comes to budgeting and preparing for your upcoming adventure.
While Disneyland Resort does not currently offer a formal payment plan,
Disneyland Vacation Packages booked through Walt Disney Travel Company do allow you to spread payments out over time. Currently, vacation packages
require a $200 deposit at the time of booking, and you can continue making payments at your own pace until the final balance is due 30 days before arrival. This can be a great way to make your dream vacation feel a little more manageable while giving yourself plenty of time to prepare. Since you're planning well in advance, you'll have even more flexibility to create a payment schedule that works for your family.
In addition to the payment flexibility, vacation packages include several perks. You'll receive a voucher valid for 10% off at many participating dining and merchandise locations throughout the Downtown Disney District. The package also includes an exclusive Walt Disney Travel Company collectible pin and lanyard. One of my favorite benefits is that each member of your party receives one
complimentary entry to an eligible Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction, which can be redeemed at any available time on one day of your hotel stay.
If you're still deciding where to stay, I would encourage you to take a look at the
Disneyland Hotel. It captures the spirit and history of Disneyland in a way that always makes me smile. One of my favorite quiet spots is the gazebo nestled between the Adventureland and Frontierland Towers. It's a peaceful place to relax for a few moments before heading back into the excitement of the parks. I also love strolling through the grounds in the evening and admiring the subtle nods to classic Disneyland attractions found throughout the property.
Sandy, I hope this helps as you begin planning your upcoming visit. There's something special about having a Disneyland vacation on the horizon, and starting early gives you plenty of time to dream, plan, and build anticipation for all the fun ahead.

May each day bring you one step closer to your Disneyland adventure!
