Hi there, Angelica, and welcome to planDisney!
Your visit to Walt Disney World Resort is just around the river bend. I'm super excited for you to experience the magic of my Happy Place. From nighttime spectaculars like
Happily Ever After to the most thrilling attractions like
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, there's never a dull moment. Now, let's get into some of your payment options so you can move forward in the planning process.
When purchasing a
vacation package, which includes theme park tickets and a Walt Disney World Resort hotel stay, you can put down a certain amount of money (at the moment, that's a $200 deposit). The total is then due 30 days before your first night's stay. I love this option!
Now, there isn't an official payment plan, but you can simply make payments on your own time until you hit the 30-day prior mark. This is how you make those payments:
-Log in to your
My Disney Experience account and select "My Plans."
-Find your upcoming vacation package reservation.
-Select "Make a Payment."
For a room-only reservation, you will pay for a portion of your stay when you book. Then you will pay the balance once you arrive at the hotel or you can pay ahead of time with a Cast Member on the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations phone number. This is the option that my family usually does because we are Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholders who don't also need theme park tickets.
And speaking of
theme park tickets, there is no payment plan. The total is due at the time of the purchase. Keep in mind that theme park tickets are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
AN EXTRA GEM: Angelica, if you're looking for a way to save, definitely look into purchasing your theme park tickets or Resort hotel stay with
Disney Gift Cards. You can usually find deals for these at your local retail store. Many of my fellow Disney-loving friends save these and combine them to pay for their stays. You can also use them all around property to pay for yummy food and your must-have merchandise.
I just know you are going to have the BEST time while at the Most Magical Place on Earth, Angelica. If you have any other questions as you continue planning, please

Magic always,
LeAndra
