Hi Melinda,
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for your question. Your vacation is right around the corner and I bet you are getting so excited. Right now is the perfect time to finalize your trip planning to ensure that you can sit back and relax once you arrive. From enchanting castle views to thrilling attractions, you’re in for an experience full of wonder and joy.
Making a payment before you arrive is a super easy process. Simply log into your My Disney Experience account on a desktop browser and float over to the "My Plans" section, nestled within the My Disney Experience drop-down menu at the top-right corner of your screen. Once there, locate your reservation number, where a "Make a Payment" link should appear if online payments are available for your reservation type. This can also be done on the
My Disney Experience app but I find the desktop version to be a little easier for payment-related planning.
If the link doesn’t sparkle into view, fear not! A quick call to the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations team will connect you to Cast Members who can assist with any payment-related wishes or resolve any issues.
While you’re on the line, take the opportunity to sprinkle in a little extra magic by adding room requests to your reservation. For instance, I always suggest requesting a location close to the lobby or transportation for swift and easy access to the transportation options. The Cast Members will happily accommodate your preferences, ensuring your stay is nothing short of magical!
Since your vacation is almost here, be sure to also take advantage of one of the newest benefits of staying at a Disney Resort hotel. Since you are staying in the heart of the magic at a Disney Resort hotel, you have the advantage of purchasing
Lightning Lane passes 7 days before you arrive at Disney World. This gives you first dibs on the newest attractions like
Tiana's Bayou Adventure and
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
Happy Planning,
Jenna
