Does anyone know what the process is if I need to cancel. My trip is in Dec. but Money is tight right now so I was wondering what the process is? I am totally bummed out and hope that I do not have to do it but if I do I was wonder what I need to do and how long it takes to get my money back? Do they send a check or do they put the money back on my card?
 
Yes, you get it all back on your credit card as long as you are within the 45 day window. Sorry you need to cancel but sometimes there are more important things than Disney.
 
It'll go back to whatever card you put it on...

debit cards usually take longer. They'll probably tell you to expect it to take up to 2 weeks just in case. You may get it sooner.

bolding is mine....
I do believe this poster meant outside of the 45 day window.
Here is the actual verbage from my ressie for this fall:

Cancellation and Change Fees Prior to Guest Arrival
No refunds will be given to no shows.
Cancellation of Reservation - If the reservation is cancelled, amounts paid, minus cancellation fees and other amounts owed, will be refunded. For a cancellation made 44 to 6 days prior to guest arrival, there is a cancellation fee of $100 per package, plus any cancellation fees assessed by hotels or other suppliers. For a cancellation made 5 days or less prior to guest arrival, there is a cancellation fee of $200 per package, plus any cancellation fees assessed by hotels or other suppliers; provided, however, that for a cancellation of a Grand Gathering experience add-on option made 5 days or less prior to the experience date, no refund will be given.
Guest will be responsible for any cancellation fees assessed by an airline. In the case of a non-refundable airline ticket, the cancellation fee is equal to the entire ticket price. Cancellation of a refundable airline ticket must be made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled airline departure time.
Vacation insurance is nonrefundable if not canceled within 14 days after booking reservation. For reservations made 14 days or less prior to guest arrival, vacation insurance is nonrefundable if not canceled at least one day prior to guest arrival.
Changes to Reservation - For a change made 44 days or less prior to guest arrival that results in a change in the package price, a change fee of $50 per package, plus any change fees assessed by hotels or other suppliers, will be charged. Disney reserves the right to restrict changes to any reservation. Such change fees must be paid in addition to any increase in the package price resulting from the change. If air travel has been ticketed, guest will be responsible for any increase in airfare as well as the change fee assessed by the airline.
 
If you are within the 44 day window, can you switch the dates of the package without incurring any fees? Perhaps I'm hearing things, but I thought the CM told me that if the new package price was higher than the original then there would be no charge. Is this correct? I may need to change my travel dates from Nov. to Feb. and am wondering this.
 
Am I reading that right? Specifically, If I were to cancel a trip within 5 days of arrival, its only a 200 fee?
I buy insurance each trip and guess I wondered if it was worth it...think it is like 120, but then you can cancel or leave form a trip, If I remember correctly.
Well, lets hope I never have to use it for a disney trip, but I sure do like the "assurance" of having it.
Maybe this is why people do NOT buy insurance????? 200 is a drop in the bucket compared to thousands usually spent..

Insurance usually covers your airfare as well, though... I think?

I don't ever buy insurance... just never messed with it before. Not sure why we'd need it.

(I DID when I left the country in college... forgot about that. But I think it was just a medical insurance plan that would pay for me to get home and all that)
