    What if I just need a payment arrangement for tickets not the stay ? Can I do that ? Bc I wanted to do my stay elsewhere and just pay on tickets . Is this possible

    Hi there, and welcome to planDisney!

    You've got a friend in me when it comes to planning the perfect visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth. Whether you're choosing the right Disney Resorts Collection hotel, figuring out which Theme Park Ticket best matches your vacation style, mapping out a dining plan, or deciding how to maximize your Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections, we’re here to help every step of the way. At planDisney, our goal is to make sure you have everything you need to plan a practically perfect Disney vacation.

    I completely understand wanting to spread out your payments over time, but unfortunately, payment plans are not available for ticket-only purchases. When you purchase Theme Park tickets separately, the full amount is due at checkout. The only way to break up your payments is by booking a Walt Disney World Vacation Package, which combines your Disney Resorts Collection hotel stay with Theme Park tickets. You can also choose to add a Disney dining plan if you'd like. With a Vacation Package, all that's required is a deposit at the time of booking, and then you’re free to make payments on your own schedule as long as the full balance is paid at least 30 days before you arrive.

    With that said, I’d love to share a little personal perspective. I’ve been visiting Walt Disney World since I was about five years old and have done it both ways, staying on property and off. While some nearby hotels are certainly nice, nothing compares to the full Disney experience you get when you stay at a Disney Resort hotel. You’re not just close to the magic, you’re surrounded by it. Plus, the benefits really add up. You’ll be able to book all your dining reservations for your trip starting 60 days before your check-in date instead of day by day. You’ll also get first dibs on Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections seven days ahead of your arrival, while off-site Guests have to wait until three days out. Complimentary transportation throughout the resort, free parking at your hotel and the theme parks, and those extra touches of Disney magic around every corner truly make a difference.

    If you have any more questions or want me to dig a little deeper, don’t hesitate to reach back out. I’d be happy to help you make your vacation dreams come true.

    TTFN,
    Brent
