Hello there, Grant,
Welcome back to planDisney! I'd be happy to help answer your question in preparation for your upcoming trip.
I'm not sure if you've already
booked your vacation, but guests are able to reserve a room and ticket package at Walt Disney World Resort with an initial deposit. This can be paid via credit/debit card or even a Disney gift card. As your trip approaches, you can make payments towards the balance
online or via the
My Disney Experience Mobile App with the same forms of payment. The remaining balance for vacation packages is due 30 days prior to your arrival. If you are booking a last-minute trip less than 30 days out, you'll be prompted to pay the full balance of your vacation package at the time of booking. If you are making a room-only reservation, you'd pay the first night upfront and the
remaining balance would be charged once you arrive at your resort.
Once you've arrived and begun soaking up the magic on-site, I'm happy to report that cash, Disney gift cards, and credit/debit cards are accepted for payment in the parks and resorts. You can even use a MagicBand or
MagicBand+ for food and merchandise purchases and have them charged to the credit card on file for your room at participating resorts.
I hope this helps make your upcoming experience even more magical!
See you real soon,
Amy
