Hi Lindsey, welcome to planDisney!
I also like to pay off my Walt Disney World vacations before my arrival. I prefer to purchase
Disney Gift Cards at retailers that sell them at a discount as a way to save a little extra on my magical vacation. Disney Gift Cards can be consolidated into larger amounts (currently a maximum of $1,000.00) using the link above which makes it super easy to make payments using a Disney Gift Card.
Depending on what type of reservation you made for your Walt Disney World vacation, you may or may not be able to make payments online. If you booked a
Walt Disney World Vacation Package you should be able to pay online in the "
My Plans" section of My Disney Experience. Scroll down to your reservation information, click on the "Show Details" link and you should see a "Make Payment" link next to the balance due amount.
If you booked a room-only reservation, or you don't have a link available to make a payment, you can call
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations to speak to a cast member directly. They will be more than happy to accept a payment towards your reservation. This is also a great time to add any room requests you may have to your reservation.
I hope this information is helpful to you, Lindsey. Please let us know if there is anything further we can assist you with.
