Hi Stephanie,
Thank you for taking the time to send your question to us at planDisney. Walt Disney World Resort makes planning your perfect vacation as easy as possible. For me planning my vacation is almost as fun as our actual visit to Walt Disney World Resort.
Depending on how you choose to customize your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation, there may be an option to make payments toward the balance of your reservation. If you choose a Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Package including a Resort Hotel stay and Theme Park Tickets, guests are able to secure their reservation with only a deposit. While there is no specific payment plan, guests are able to make payments in My Disney Experience at your own convenience prior to the balance due date. You could also make payments by calling (407) 939-1936 and a Cast Member will be happy to assist with your request.
When you are booking a Room-Only Reservation, a deposit is required at the time of your purchase and the balance is due upon arrival at your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel. If you are looking for a payment plan, I would suggest purchasing
Disney Gift Cards instead of making a payment and when you arrive at your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, use the cards toward your balance. I like to purchase a gift card during my weekly grocery shopping trip, it makes saving effortless, and simple to use in order to pay the balance on my resort hotel room.
The last option is for
Theme Park Tickets. If you purchase Theme Park Tickets only, payment is required in full at the time of purchase. Again, if you are choosing a vacation package, Tickets do not need to be paid in full at that time as they are part of the vacation package.
I hope that you find this answer helpful, Stephanie. Please let us know if you have any other questions as you continue to plan your visit to Walt Disney World Resort, we are always happy to help.
