Hi Christina! Welcome to planDisney! As the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end.” Sadly, that includes magical vacations to the
Walt Disney World Resort.
I appreciate the “charge to room” privileges that come along with a Walt Disney World Resort vacation. I like that I can “tap” my MagicBand for items I purchase at the resort or in the Disney Parks without needing to carry cards or cash. This is particularly helpful when purchasing food and drinks by the pool. With three sons and a family that enjoys resort and pool time, the poolside bar and grill is the source for most of my family’s “room charges.”
On the final night of your stay, you will receive an itemized list of all charges made using your card on file. The bill is usually sent overnight to your email address on file. This includes meals, drinks, merchandise, souvenirs, etc. made during your vacation. The bill will be charged to your card on file. If you want the charges to go on a different card, you can visit the front desk of the resort hotel to switch the charges to a different card. I’ve done that on checkout day and it was done very easily with the help of a friendly Cast Member.
Christina, as the holiday season approaches, you might consider requesting
Disney Gift Cards on your wish list! Having Disney Gift Cards is a great way to “pay as you go” through your vacation. A handful of gift cards, used throughout the vacation, helps that final bill to be a bit lower! We always give our kids a Disney Gift Card as a stocking stuffer. Then, they can use the card as they wish once they arrive at the resort hotel or the Disney Parks!
Dreams do come true!
