Hi Joseph,
Welcome to planDisney, and greetings from a fellow Virginian! While I love visiting the Walt Disney World Resort
any time of the year, there's something
extra special about visiting during the
Christmas season! Between the festive music, delicious seasonal sweets, gorgeous decorations, and the holiday touches throughout the entire Resort, you're going to head home with hearts FULL of magical memories and Christmas joy!
Payment plans are available if you're booking a vacation package that includes a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel stay, but there's currently no way to make payments on
theme park tickets alone. Instead, I'd encourage you to buy Disney Gift Cards at a store where discounts or in-store loyalty credit are offered. You can buy a few at a time, combine them at
DisneyGiftCard.com, and use them to purchase tickets whenever you are ready - even one at a time if you'd like. My one concern is that in addition to valid tickets,
Disney Park Pass reservations are now required for entry into the parks. That week you're planning to visit is a popular one, so while I'm not concerned about
availability at this point, I wouldn't wait until the last minute, especially if you're buying your tickets one at a time.
While holiday offerings may certainly vary next year, I'd encourage you to keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog over the next few months. Their
articles about this year's Christmas season will fill your heart with excitement and anticipation for your own magical visit next year during the holidays! SO exciting!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney, Joseph, and please feel free to come back again if you have any other questions as you're planning your trip. I hope you and your entire family have a truly magical vacation next year!
Missy
