Hi Greg! Welcome to planDisney. We’re so glad you’re here.
It sounds like you’re considering booking a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation. A brilliant idea, if you ask me! If you ask me, there really has never been a better time to visit Walt Disney World Resort! From
Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary Celebration, which runs through March 31st, 2023, to exciting new attractions, there is something fabulous to enjoy at every turn. So, let’s get your question answered so you can get your vacation booked and start celebrating!
Now, while a deposit is required when booking your Walt Disney World vacation, the final payment toward your vacation is not due until 30 days prior to your scheduled check-in. So, while you can make payments toward your trip in the months leading up to your visit, all payments are fully refundable, so long as you cancel 30 days or more from check-in. If you need to cancel within 29 days to 2 days before your arrival date, there is a $200 penalty per room. Unfortunately, your vacation is nonrefundable should you cancel less than two days before your scheduled check-in.
As you consider booking your vacation, there are so many fantastic
Disney Resorts Collection hotels to choose from, making it quite difficult to choose! So, I highly recommend checking out the helpful
Pocket Guides put together by our extraordinary planDisney team members. These nifty little guides give you an overview of the resorts, so you can compare and find the one that best fits your vacation style!
I know there is a lot to consider when planning a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, so just know that the team here at planDisney is here to help! We love answering questions from fellow Guests to help make their vacation as magical as possible, so please don't hesitate to reach out with any other questions you may have!
Happy Planning!
