Hiya Ryleigh!
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for visiting, and we'd be happy to help you with your 2026 Disney World vacation details. You've officially got a magical countdown in the works... woo hooo!
When you purchase both a Disney Resort along with theme park tickets, it's considered a "vacation package". I love the flexibility of this, as it allows you to reserve your practically perfect dates and resort choice for a
$200 refundable deposit (prices subject to change). Then you can easily make payments of any amount and frequency towards your package!
You can make payments towards your reservation by logging on to
My Disney Experience, and heading to "My Plans", scroll to your resort reservation details, and you should see an option "Make a Payment". As you mentioned, that final amount will be due 30 days prior to your arrival date.
As a money-saving tip, keep an eye on
Disney's Special Offers, Deals & Discounts page. If a deal is offered that aligns with your travel plans... you can switch your reservations to that special offer, and save money! And I think we both know what that means, Ryleigh. Extra souvenirs and Mickey ice cream bars!! Ka-chow!
Enjoy your Disney World vacation planning, and
please visit me again at planDisney if I can help sprinkle any pixie dust on that wonderful vacation you've got in the works.
Adventure is out there!
