Hi Teresa,
Thank you for stropping by planDisney with a great question!
If you booked a Walt Disney World Resort vacation package directly through the Walt Disney Travel Company, your
final payment must be made by the payment deadline. Up until that date, you can make payments as you see fit. I prefer to make payments online using the Make A Payment feature in
My Disney Experience. If you booked through a third-party vendor, you would need to check their payment terms and conditions.
If for some reason you have to cancel and re-book your vacation package, remember that any
Special Offers applied to the first reservation may not be available with any subsequent reservations, so be sure to check the Special Offers if your plans change and you have to make a new reservation. If you do cancel an existing vacation package reservation, remember to also cancel any
Disney Park Pass system and
advanced dining reservations as well.
One year I was so disappointed to cancel a trip. We re-booked for the following year and had a wonderful time. Before the final payment due date, you could also try modifying your trip dates if you just need a few more weeks to make that payment. Looking at the time of year you are planning to go, there might be limited resort hotel availability, so check as soon as possible to see what dates might be feasible.
Teresa, I am sending a little extra pixie dust hoping that you can make that final payment and we can welcome you soon for an
Incredible Disney Day!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
