Hi Connie!

the Most Magical Place On Earth! Whether it’s finding the best hotel, tips for navigating the parks, or dining recommendations, we’re here to help!
Regarding centrally located resorts, Disney offers several great options depending on what you're looking for. Since all Guests of
Disney Resorts Collection hotels enjoy
complimentary transportation, including buses, boats, monorail, and the Disney Skyliner, it’s helpful to consider theming, budget, and proximity to the parks. If you'd like to be close to Magic Kingdom,
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and
Disney’s Contemporary Resort are perfect choices. Both offer walking paths right to Magic Kingdom’s front entrance, plus the iconic monorail to whisk you there in minutes. For Disney’s Hollywood Studios, I’d recommend
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn,
Disney’s Beach Club Resort, or
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. You can walk or take a boat directly from these resorts to Hollywood Studios. A bonus of staying at one of these resorts is that you’ll also be within walking distance of EPCOT, where you can experience top attractions like
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, or indulge in international cuisine as you eat and drink around World Showcase.
As for paying over time, while there isn’t an official payment plan, you are only required to put down a deposit at booking and then can chip away over time at the balance. You can pay as much or as little as you'd like until the final payment is due 30 days before your arrival date. This flexible option allows you to spread out the cost of your vacation.
I hope this answers your questions, Connie!
Don't hesitate to reach out if you need more help with recommendations or advice as you plan your trip. We’re here to help make your Disney vacation as magical as can be!
See you real soon!
