I agree. By signing up for monthly debit, you have the flexibility if you need it but can pay off the balance at any time. We have a few other annual bills that come due in January. I switched to monthly payments with DVC so that I can pay the minimum in Jan and Feb and then pay off the remainder in March and still get some Disney Visa reward dollars.
We just switched to monthly and it was very, very easy.
We faxed a letter to member accounting with a voided check so they could have the necessary account coding. Did it in late December and it worked for January.
I thought it might have been too late for January, buy MS confirmed that the change had been made. It went quite smoothly.
