    I am getting a refund and it’s in my bank account but still on hold I need it to be released how much longer do I have to wait for it?

    Hey there, Melanie. Thanks for visiting us at planDisney with this question. It's never fun having to change your plans or return an item, but sometimes things can't be helped. 

    If you're expecting a refund, it most likely means that plans have changed and I'm sorry to hear that. Typically, it takes 7-10 business days for a refund to process back to your credit card or bank account. If you're past this timeframe, I recommend reaching out to a friendly Cast Member at (714) 781-4636 for assistance and to confirm that the refund was sent. If the refund was sent, you may need to reach out directly to your bank for additional assistance. 

    I was recently in your shoes and made a merchandise return at the parks and found that it was processed back to my credit card within 48 hours. If you've been waiting for some time, I hope that by the time this message reaches you, everything has been settled. Whether it was a merchandise return or a trip that needed to be cancelled, I do hope that you're able to find a way to make some magic soon. 

    Melanie, I hope that the information I shared is helpful. Even more, I hope that your refund is settled faster than you can say, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." If there's anything else that we can help with, please come back to see us.
