Hi Heidi!
Thanks for your question. When you secure a
Disney Vacation Package at
DisneyWorld.com, you technically can initiate your own payment plan that fits your monthly budget! This is something our family does constantly, as oftentimes it's difficult to pay an entire Disney vacation in one lump sum...
Although prices are always subject to change, when you secure a
Disney Vacation Package, you must apply a minimum of a $200 deposit to make the reservation. After your reservation is secured, you can make as many payments towards your vacation as needed, so long as you make a minimum $20 payment towards your vacation. Final payment towards a Disney vacation made at
DisneyWorld.com is due generally
30 days before the first day of your trip. So for example, if your trip began, say, April 1st, 2020, then your final payment on your Disney vacation would be due no later than March 1st, 2020.
What I typically do is make my reservation, add the total number of months between the day I make my reservation and when my final payment is due, and divide by that number to set my own monthly budget. That gives me a baseline and a set monthly amount to pay towards my vacation every month!
Hope this provides a little insight. Best of luck with all your Disney planning!
Terry
