You must authorize it by actually making the payment, it will not automatically take anything out. In my email informing which day it needed to be paid off the fine print said you must call or mail the payment, but I was able to do it online.
Agree with ArwenMarie on having better luck calling, but if you want to do online, when you look at your reservation in MDE, you should have a "make a payment" button. I paid by phone because my sisters reservation (linked in my MDE) had a button, but mine didn't.
we successfully made our final payments (split into two) online. But no, it won't happen automatically. When you look at your reservations online you can click for more info, and I believe the option to make an online payment was there?
Room only reservation will be deducted from you credit card upon check in. Their will be no option to pay room only reservations online. You can call and pay over the phone if you wish.
I can't speak for packages never do DDP, tickets etc because we're FL residents. I do believe the deadline for package payment is 45 days and you can pay those online/phone.
