Question about $200 deposit

[PezDSpencer]

I'm a bit confused about the $200 deposit since I booked the total package including air through Disney's online site.

Will my airline rates be held or can they fluctuate until the full package is paid?

I didn't see any extra "requirement" that the airline must be paid in full when walking through the booking procedure.

You may want to call Disney to check. When I try to book airfare as part of a package it shows that immediate payment is needed for the airfare.

hmmmmm, when I booked my trip online I priced it both ways--airfair through Disney and on my own. When I added their airfair to my package I had to pay for it with my $200.00 deposit. That is strange that it didnt even come up on yours. Maybe I was crazy but I could have sworn that my minimum deposit with airfair was like $840.00, without airfair $200.00. If you were able to book airfair through them and able to put it on the payment plan then you got a deal. It wouldnt let me do that.

Whenever I have booked airfare, whether it be part of a package or by itself, full payment for the airfare is required at the time of booking. I beleive this is an FAA rule. I would check that your airfare was booked and you were charged for it.

OK, I called Disney to be certain of the deal. (Very nice CSR, BTW)

She said our flight was "bulk air" and could be paid over time. :banana:

Anyone know what's up with the bulk air? My guess is Disney buys up a certain number of seats on some flights for this purpose? :confused3

FWIW, Disney's cost was about $150 less than booking the flight straight through Delta.

I'm happy now. :cool1:

Thats even weirder, I have never found Disneys' airfare quotes to be compariable to what I can get on my own....maybe I should check into that..thanks

Can you check their prices on the airline that you want when you book through Disney?

I don't believe that it is bulk. I took the exact same fairs that Disney offered me (days & flight #'s with times ) with Airtran and went to the Airtran site. I had to buy them and got thier online pricing which saved me $120 on two tickets.
Shame on you Di$ney :confused3
