Hi Anna, and welcome to planDisney! As a fellow “let me budget the Disney magic ahead of time so Future Me can relax” kind of planner, I am happy to say yes, you absolutely can!
If you booked a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel stay directly through Walt Disney World Resort, you can make payments toward your vacation before your final balance is due. Honestly, I love doing this because it makes those Mickey-shaped snacks and late-night souvenir decisions feel way less stressful once the trip finally arrives.
You can make payments anytime through the
My Disney Experience app or on the Walt Disney World Resort website by logging into “
My Plans.” You can also
call Disney Resort Hotel Reservations if you’d rather have a Cast Member help you make a payment over the phone.
One little budgeting trick I personally love? Making smaller payments here and there whenever I can. I also sometimes grab
Disney Gift Cards ahead of a trip and slowly stash those away for food, souvenirs, or even resort expenses. Somehow, breaking the cost into smaller chunks feels way less painful than one giant payment at the end!
Sending pixie dust your way as you plan your vacation, Anna. I hope your countdown is filled with lots of excitement and maybe a few snack spreadsheets along the way!
ttfn; ta ta for now!
