Hey Howdy Hey Jeana and welcome to planDisney!
I love that you are thinking ahead about planning your trip to Walt Disney World Resort and getting a start on payments for your trip. While Disney does not offer any specific payment plans for booking vacations with them, they do have options when it comes to payments. They also differ depending on if you have a vacation package booked or a room-only reservation so let's look at these.
Booking a
vacation package with Disney, a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel and park tickets, you have more options as far as payments go. You are required to put down a $200.00 deposit to secure your booking, and the final payments are not due until 30 days before your arrival date. If you wanted to, you can log onto your
My Disney Experience account, and make monthly payments from the time you booked with the final payment due still at the 30 days before your date of arrival. From your My Disney Experience account, you would scroll to the "My Plans, Reservations and Tickets" section. On the far right, you should see an option to make a payment. Click on that link and follow the prompts for your payment and you will see an updated total as well as receive an email confirmation.
If you book a
room-only reservation with Disney, payments are a little different. For this option, you are required to put a deposit down equal to your first-night stay plus tax. After that, no payment can be made before the date of check-in and you will pay the rest of the amount at the time of check-in.
I hope this helps to clarify some details for payments when it comes to planning your trip to Walt Disney World Resort. The actual decision to go to Walt Disney World is easy to make, the follow-up of navigating all of the details can be challenging but also so much fun at the same time. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out and let us know, we love talking about all the Disney!
Happy planning,
Nick
