Hi Eddie,
Welcome to planDisney! You sound like my kind of planner - dreaming about a Disney adventure as far in advance as possible!
While it's never too early to start researching and planning for a visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, you'll only be able to make payments on a vacation that is already booked. You'll find that
vacation packages are currently available to book with an arrival date of December 31, 2022 or earlier. If your trip is sometime after that, you'll need to wait to start making payments. Once your date does become available, you'll need to put down at least $200 to hold your reservation, then you'll be able to
make payments whenever you'd like as long as your trip is paid in full at least 30 days in advance.
If it's too early to book your trip, yet you'd like to start saving and planning financially, I'd encourage you to start purchasing
Disney Gift Cards each time you visit a retail location that offers in-store discounts or cashback on them. You'll be able to combine them and track them at DisneyGiftCard.com, so it's easy peasy to start saving now for your trip!
Thanks so much for visiting us at planDisney, Eddie, and don't hesitate to
read along here to learn about all kinds of Disney-planning tips and bring us any other questions you may have. I hope you have fun dreaming and planning, and I'm sending pixie dust that all your Disney dreams come true during your magical vacation!
