Hiya Robert,
Welcome to planDisney! Where we help make your Walt Disney World Vacation dreams come true by answering your planning questions. Unfortunately, if you are just booking
Theme Park Tickets, you will need to pay in full at the time of purchase. If you plan to book a room-only reservation for a
Walt Disney World Resort Collection Hotel, you have to make an initial deposit and then pay the remaining balance when you check-in to the resort.
If you combine Theme Park tickets and a stay at a resort hotel into a
Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Package, you would be able to make payments on the package. You would just need to pay an initial deposit and submit your final payment 30 days before your trip). If you ask me, a Walt Disney World Vacation Package is the best way to experience Walt Disney World Resort. With the flexibility of paying off your trip, you can add on
Enchanting Extras such as the
Wild Africa Trek. In addition, you get perks such as transportation to the Theme Parks, Extra Magic Hours, and other additional
Magical Extras.
If you are interested in a Walt Disney World Vacation Package for a 2023 trip, those have not yet been released (we anticipate it happening around mid-summer). You can, however, book your resort hotel stay now and modify it into a Vacation Package once they are announced by reaching out to a Cast Member at 407-939-1936. Keep an eye out on
Disney Parks on Instagram and
Disney Parks Blog for announcements on next year's Disney Vacation Packages.
I hope this was helpful, and please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
Happy Planning!
Ashley F.
