Hey there, Samantha, and welcome to planDisney! I like the way you think: it’s never too early to start planning your next Walt Disney World vacation!
Samantha, you do have the ability to make payments on a Walt Disney World Vacation over time when you book a
Disney Vacation Package. These packages consist of
Theme Park Tickets and a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel stay booked simultaneously. Booking a Disney Vacation package currently requires a $200 deposit to confirm your booking - which is subject to change - and your final balance is due 30-days before your arrival date. You get the time in between those two dates to make as many payments on your vacation as you like! However, for an anticipated date in 2025, it is currently too early to book and begin to make payments on a Vacation Package. If Walt Disney World continues releasing the packages along the same timeline, availability and pricing for 2025 won’t be released until 2024. But I assure you that a Walt Disney World Vacation is memorable for any age! Surprisingly my son still remembers certain experiences from a Disney Vacation when he was 2-years old! That shows just how much he enjoyed his very first visit. So if you think you’d be interested in a Disney vacation sooner rather than later, I think that the smiles on your entire family’s faces - from eldest to youngest - will make it all worth it!
And even though you can’t yet book a vacation for arrival in 2025, I have another suggestion that may help you get a headstart on saving for your trip. My wife and I like to use
Disney Gift Cards to manage our Disney Vacation spending. You can use the gift cards to set aside funds for vacation planning, dining, in-park purchases, and more! No matter what you decide, I know that Walt Disney World will be waiting for you at the perfect time when your family gets to visit!
I hope this helps, Samantha!
Let me know if you have more questions while planning your vacation.
You’ve got a friend in me,
