Balance Due on Arrival or 45 day Prior?

[lilouisianagal]

When is a trip balance due and is there more than one option? I know a deposit is due prior, but it seems like some ressies for hotels/packages the balance is due at check in while others are due 45 days out. What's the difference?

We are planning 3 nights (probably at CSR) using a discount (hopefully coming out tomorrow ) plus two regular tickets (no park hopping this trip).

Room only, balance due at check-in.

Package, balance due 45 days prior to arrival.

This is correct. If you aren't planning on getting a dining plan, I'd recommend you book the hotel as room-only and buy your tickets separately.
