Hi Mathew,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you so much for taking the time to reach out with your question about purchasing Theme Park Tickets for your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort. It looks like you are planning a visit early next spring, the perfect time to enjoy
Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival!
Since you are staying off-site, it looks like you will be purchasing
Theme Park Tickets, and not a Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Package. If you are purchasing Theme Park Tickets only, the entire payment is due at the time of purchase. In order to budget, you could always purchase a few Theme Park Tickets at a time to make the payments more manageable. I like to purchase
Disney Gift Cards when I am out and about shopping, and when I am ready to purchase my Theme Park Tickets combine the smaller cards onto one card and use it for my purchase. For me, it feels like I have made my own payment plan, making it easier to save for my purchase.
If you decide to book a
Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Package that includes both Theme Park Tickets and a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel stay, guests are able to make payments at their convenience, prior to the pay in full date, roughly 30 days prior to arrival.
I hope you have a magical time at Walt Disney World Resort in March, Mathew. If you have any other questions, please come back to
planDisney, we are always here to help.
