Hey there, Keri, and welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by the panel with your question! I like to say that the perfect time to start planning your next Walt Disney World Vacation is right now! Next year may feel far off, but with how fast 2022 is moving, we may blink and end up in 2024!
Keri, Walt Disney World does not have a formal payment plan. However, when you book a
Disney Vacation Package, you do have the opportunity to pay the balance of your vacation over time. A Disney Vacation package consists of booking a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel reservation and
Theme Park Tickets simultaneously. As you complete the initial checkout process for your vacation package, a deposit is required - currently, $200, but the deposit amount is subject to change - and the remaining balance on your package is due 30 days before your arrival date. If you were to book a package today, you would pay the $200 deposit now, and the remaining balance would be due in May 2023 (based on your anticipated arrival date of July 15, 2023). You get the nine months between those dates to make payments as you wish! Spreading the payments out really helps to make Disney Vacation dreams come true!
I hope this helps, Keri!
Stop back by and let me know if you have questions while planning your Disney Vacation!
You’ve got a friend in me,
