Advance Bookings - how much deposit?

[septimuswigley]

Evenin' all.

I'm getting to the stage where I'm about to place advance bookings for a number of tours and things that'll give my wife-to-be a big surprise during our honeymoon in July - so if you happen to be reading this post, Vicky my darling, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO, SO BUGGER OFF OR YOU'LL SPOIL IT!

Righty then. For the rest of you - I'm coming up to the 180 day window to book a Segway Tour at Epcot. I'm also going to be reserving for an Illuminations Cruise and Dinner With An Imagineer over the next few months, so I have two questions...

1) How much will I have to put down as a deposit to confirm the reservation? Just a rough idea'll do - I don't need exact figures.

2) I don't have a credit card (yet) and I'm based in the UK - all I have is a Maestro card (and I don't want a Visa Electron, ta very much). I'm guessing the Maestro card can't be used to pay the deposit. My parents have very kindly offered the use of their credit cards to put a payment on, but seeing as it ain't my card, I'm assuming there's going to be a whole heap of problems with that.

If ANYONE can advise me on a) how to pay for a deposit and b) How much I'll have to pay, I'll be your best friend and everything

Thx in advance,

Benn

When I booked the Keys to the Kingdom Tour, we paid the whole amount up front using a CC - it was refundable though if cancelled within the 48 hour deadline.

There shouldn't be a problem using your parents CC provided they are there at the time of booking so they can confirm the CC information.
