Hi Kim,
Your upcoming stay at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort will be extra magical. The theming at this resort is next level and you will have easy access to my favorite form of Disney transportation, the
Disney Skyliner. I love hopping on my first "ride" of the day at my resort hotel and arriving in style aboard the Skyliner at both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios.
You do not need to add theme park tickets to your resort reservation before you start making payments on your account.
Resort room-only reservations typically do not have to be paid in full until you check into your resort hotel. If you book your
Disney World Vacation Package that includes a Disney dining plan and tickets, it will need to be paid in full before arrival. The due dates for your payments will be available after you book the package. If you purchase tickets separately, you will pay for them in full at the time of purchase. They will still be linked to your resort reservation through your My Disney Experience Account.
To make payments on your reservation log in to your
My Disney Experience Account and navigate to "My Plans." This is where you should see any upcoming reservations that you have. Click on your reservation to see your confirmation number, reservation details, balance due, and a convenient place to "Make a Payment." If you have any trouble paying online, feel free to call
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations and they will be happy to assist you with payment over the phone.
When you arrive and check-in for your Art of Animation Resort stay, make sure to check out the activities board in the lobby for an in-depth look at what will be happening during your stay. I like to snap a quick picture so I can remember what movies will be playing under the stars, what time the pool parties are, and when to show up for s'mores around the campfire!
Happy Planning,
Jenna
