Hiya Melissa,
Welcome back to planDisney! One of the reasons why I love booking
Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Packages is the ability to make payments toward my final vacation balance. It always makes me smile when I get to my resort hotel and don’t have to worry about handing over my credit card. It also makes me feel less guilty when I treat myself to snacks and merchandise throughout my vacation.
Before we proceed, Melissa, let’s see if you can make payments. When you booked your vacation, if you purchased your theme park tickets in a separate transaction from your resort hotel reservation, you likely have what is referred to as a “room-only” reservation. Guests with this reservation type are not eligible to make payments toward their final balance. They must pay their entire remaining balance when they check in. If you booked your resort hotel with your theme park tickets and have a Walt Disney World Vacation Package, you can pay towards your final balance. To find the link to make payments toward a Vacation Package balance, you log on to your
My Disney Experience account and locate your resort hotel details under “My Plans.” Next to your resort details, you should see an option to make a payment! If you don’t see an option to do so, you either have a room-only reservation or you may need to
call to speak to a Cast Member to process your payment over the phone.
I hope that was helpful, Melissa. Before I let you go, if you have a Vacation Package, I wanted to remind you that your final payment is due no later than 30 days before your trip. You can pay in any increments you wish to, as long as you have done so before that deadline. I like to use
Disney Gift Cards for this! I make sure to hold on to my gift cards after I use them, just in case I need to have my payments refunded to them. Please come back and see us if there is anything else we can help you with!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
