Hey there, hi there, Alana! You're as welcome as can be here at planDisney.
I couldn't be more excited to see that the magic of Walt Disney World
is calling, and you're answering the call by planning a 2026 vacation. Woohoo! Maximizing magic (and money) is the name of my Disney game, so you've come to the right place, my friend. Let's get this planning party started!
While Disney doesn't exactly offer a payment plan, you can book a Vacation Package, including your
Disney Resort Hotel and
Theme Park Tickets, with just a deposit. While prices are subject to change, currently, the deposit is $200. Then, you can make partial payments on your vacation right on your
My Disney Experience account as you please until the final balance is due 30 days before your arrival. It's like your own personal pixie-dusted payment plan!
Currently, booking is only available through the end of 2025, but Hakuna Matata. It means "no worries." Just keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the news on when 2026 Packages will be available for booking as soon as it drops or check back with the
Walt Disney World website. Typically, they become available in the spring or summer of the year before, however, last year, booking for this year began at the end of February. So, it could be any day now!
In the meantime, I suggest researching the
Disney Resort Hotels to figure out which one is the one of your Disney dreams. The
planDisney Pocket Guides are such a helpful resource to have information on the rooms, amenities, dining options and more right at your fingertips. There is a Disney Resort Hotel for every style and budget, and I can't wait to see which one you choose!
One more thing! Always keep an eye on the
Special Offers page on the Walt Disney World website for the latest and greatest deals and discounts. Even after your trip is booked, check back here as your trip approaches. Oftentimes, deals and discounts on rooms and more are offered and can be applied to your vacation! Now, that is magic!
I hope this helps, Alana, and I hope to see you back here with any planning questions you may have along the way!
You've got a friend in me,
Mandy
