Welcome to
planDisney, James, where we love helping Guests like you make their Disney vacation dreams come true. I am so glad that you decided to stop by with your vacation question, and it would be my pleasure to help you with an answer. I am sorry to hear that you may have to cancel your plans to visit
The Most Magical Place on Earth. I will walk you through the cancellation policies for vacation packages and resort-only stays in
Walt Disney World Resort.
If you booked a resort-only stay at a
Disney Resort hotel or Disney Vacation Club Resort, you can cancel your booking up to five days prior without penalty. You will receive a full refund of your deposit and payments. If you booked a vacation package through the
Walt Disney World website, you need to cancel your package at least 31 days prior to your arrival date to avoid penalty and receive a refund for your deposit and any payments made. If you need to cancel within 29 days to 2 days prior to your arrival date, there will be a $200 penalty per room, plus any cancellation fees assessed by other suppliers. Your vacation package is nonrefundable one day prior to your arrival.
I hope this information helps answer your question, James. If we can answer any more of your vacation questions or provide you any more guidance about Walt Disney World cancellation policies, please stop back by planDisney, where we are always here to help!
