Deposit for Package bought thru Disney

[mackaylc]

Good Morning! I am planning a trip for May. In the past, I have purchased my trip through Westjet vacations and paid for the whole trip at time of booking. This time, the hotel I want is not on the Westjet vacation site for the week I am going, so decided to book the flight and then book the rest of the trip through Disney.I have been watching the dollar in order to see when is the best time to book. My question is, when I book through Disney, I believe I have read that you only have to put down a down payment, and then can pay the rest off in installments. How much do you pay upfront? When do you have to make the remainder of your payments? I am trying to balance the exchange, with the room type I want selling out. Any help is appreciated

Thanks!

Deposit on a package (room+tickets, room+dining plan or room+tickets+dining plan) is 200$usd at tine of booking. Remainder is due 30 days begore checking date. A room only reservation deposit is equivalent to one night. The remainder is due at checkout.

If it’s room only the remainder is due at check in.

I have a room only reservation starting next wed. I am bringing down my cash on a Disney GC. I watch the rates everyday. If I think that it is going down before I go I will pay it off. If not I will pay it there. The advantage of this is no forex fees. Plus they take the posted rate from the day before, so if you see it drop too much you can pay it off that day and get yesterdays rate.
