Hi Amisha! I'm delighted to hear you're planning your first trip to
Walt Disney World.
Get ready for a vacation like no other. This is a time to be excited so
don't worry, you can
absolutely alter an existing reservation. There are a few key things to
understand about the process...
Changes to an existing reservation must me made at least 45 days
before your arrival date to avoid paying penalty fees.
From now until then, if you book your stay at a value priced Disney
resort and then decide to upgrade to a moderate Disney resort you will
pay the difference in the upgrade. The same is true if you alter your
reservation and upgrade to a deluxe Disney resort. If you change your
reservation to a comparable Disney resort there shouldn't be a
change fee if you do so within that 45 day window.
However, if you downgrade your reservation from either a deluxe or
moderate resort to a less expensive choice, you will incur a change fee.
Once your initial reservation is booked, it can only be altered by a
Disney Cast Member by calling (407) 939- 5277. They can also give you
exact cost differences to expect with any changes you wish to make.
There are so many wonderful choices of resorts to stay at
Walt Disney World,
sure to fit your budget and needs. I hope this helps as you plan for your special first trip to the most magical place in the world.
