Welcome to planDisney, Abbie. When it comes to all things
Disney vacation planning, you've certainly come to the right place!
If you booked a
vacation package, which includes both a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel room reservation and theme park tickets, the total amount owed on your package is due no later than 30 days before your check-in date. If you reserved a hotel room only, the remaining balance is due at check-in.
One thing that I love about booking vacation packages is that while I need to have everything paid 30 days before check-in, I can make as many or as few
payments as I'd like after I make that initial deposit. I tend to pay a little at a time so the 30-day checkpoint doesn't hit as hard. And because it's up to me if and when I pay before that, some months I can pay a little more, and some months, a little less. I just really like the flexibility of it all!
Now, I know you're not going to be at the
Walt Disney World Resort until October of 2027, but you'll want to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog leading up to your vacation for announcements on what will be offered for the
Halloween season. You can even get a sneak peek by looking at the
offerings available this year. While there are no guarantees that the same offerings will be available when you're there, there will likely be similar offerings. If you've never done
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at
Magic Kingdom Park, I highly recommend it. Every Disney-goer should go at least once.
Abbie, happy planning! If you have any other questions,
I'm here for you!
It's kind of fun to do the impossible,
Matt
