Hello there, Anna! Welcome to planDisney! We appreciate you taking the time to reach out and asking an excellent Walt Disney World Resort vacation question!
My family and I love staying with the
Disney Resorts Collection! In our experience, these resorts have some of the best customer service we have ever experienced and
offer a variety of perks! Some of these include closer proximity to the theme parks, extended access when booking your advanced dining reservations, complimentary transportation across the property, and so much more. Additionally, each Disney Resort hotel has its own incredibly intricate theme that displays the same attention to detail that you can find inside of the theme parks!
Another excellent perk of staying with the Disney Resorts Collection is the ability to
make payments towards your vacation package! If you would like to make payments towards both theme park tickets and your resort reservation, the best way to go about doing this is by booking them together in a vacation package. At the time of check out, you will pay an initial deposit and be given a specific date on which you will need to pay your remaining balance. As long as you pay your entire balance by this date, you can make as many or as few payments as you’d like! This is great for Guests that would prefer to make multiple payments on their vacations!
When the time comes to make payments towards your balance, you can do so either online or over the phone. You can make online payments by logging into your My Disney Experience account and navigating to the “My Reservations” page. From there, simply locate the reservation you would like to make a payment on and you should see an area to make a payment towards your balance. If you would prefer to make a payment over the phone, you can do so by calling the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations phone line. Here, a Cast Member will assist you in making a payment either with your stored payment method or with a different card!
Best of luck as you continue to plan your visit to Walt Disney World Resort! Please let us know if we can answer any other questions for you along the way!
