Hey howdy hey, Ashley!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks for stopping by with an excellent
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question.
Yee-haw! Your arrival at The Most Magical Place on Earth is just a few short days away. Are you counting down the minutes!? Before you saddle up to head to your
Disney Resort hotel, let's walk through the options for paying your remaining balance. You've got a friend in me!
It sounds like you've booked a room-only Resort hotel reservation, Ashley. For these types of reservations, Guests typically
pay a deposit equal to the first night's stay at the time of booking, and then the remaining balance is paid at the time of check-in. Guests wishing to pre-pay for their entire room-only Resort hotel stay can usually do so by reaching out to the friendly Cast Members at the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations phone line before they arrive on-site. However, while
PayPal can be used for the initial deposit on a room-only reservation, the remaining balance must be paid using a credit or debit card.
Ashley, another great way to pay for a Walt Disney World Resort vacation is using
Disney Gift Cards. I like to pick these up on my weekly grocery shopping trips and combine them on the Disney Gift Card website ahead of my Disney Parks vacations. They're accepted as a valid payment method at most merchandise and dining locations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort! Plus, sometimes (especially around the holiday season), stores offer great deals on Disney Gift Cards, allowing Guests to really maximize their savings!
I hope this information helps you to feel prepared for a rootin' tootin' Walt Disney World Resort vacation, Ashley! If there's anything else we can do to help you get ready for your Disney Resort hotel stay, you're always welcome to gallop on back to us here at
planDisney. We're here to help you and your cowpokes have the best time at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
So long, partner!
