Hi Jenae,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for reaching out to us with your question. Your visit to Walt Disney World Resort is coming up in a few short months, I bet you are going to have a magical visit this fall! It looks like you will be arriving just in time for the
Walt Disney World Resort 50th Anniversary Celebration, how exciting!
When purchasing
Theme Park Tickets, the balance owing will need to be paid in full at the time of purchase. When I am planning a visit to Walt Disney World Resort, I like to purchase
Disney Gift Cards when I am out shopping in order to "save" for my Walt Disney World Resort Vacation. When it comes time to purchase my Theme Park Tickets I use the Disney Gift Card to pay the balance, it is a painless way for me to save for my magical visit! Once you have your Theme Park Tickets, don't forget to make your
Theme Park Reservations using the Disney Park Pass System. All guests are now required to have both a valid Theme Park Ticket as well as a Theme Park Reservation for every day you wish to enter into a Theme Park.
If you choose to purchase a
Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Package that includes both Theme Park Tickets as well as a Disney Resorts Collection hotel stay, a deposit will be required to secure your reservation and from there you will be able to make payments toward your balance owing in My Disney Experience.
I hope you have a magical visit this fall, Jenae. If you have any other questions, as you continue to plan, please come back to visit us here at
planDisney, we are always happy to help.
