Help!! Final Payment mess!!

[LavenderWings]

Hi all, long story short, our final payment was due. I had meant to sit down and do it, but got super busy and before I knew it, it was 15 minutes past the time that reservations customer support closed. I went to go do the payment, it only gives me one option of doing the full amount. I need to be able to put the payment onto 2 different cards. I'm freaking out now because I'm worried that I will lose my reservation. I've spent a year planning this trip! I called WDW but they said that they can't help me and to call tomorrow morning and hopefully someone will be able to then. I know I should have taken care of this days ago, but I blew it and didn't take care of it. Has anyone had this happen before? Will they let me make my payment first thing tomorrow morning and still keep all my reservations?

You will be fine. It's not a big deal to make final payment a day or even a couple of days late.

Thank you so much! I've been freaking out for the past hour! I'll call 1st thing tomorrow. They really need to give the ability to use more than one payment source!

Disney routinely builds in a grace period to that final payment date. We had an issue one year with a very large check from a customer that screwed up our whole budget for a time right around our 45 day mark. Like you I was very stressed about it but when I called the front-line CM transferred me to a manager who assured me that they don't start cancelling reservations until around the 30 day mark and they make multiple contact attempts before that happens. I made final payment about 35 days before arrival and we had a great trip.

We had a payment mess up (somehow the payment didn't get recorded by WDW). We got an email from them around day 40 or so, saying that the payment was late and that they'd cancel the package if we didn't pay by day 30. So you are definitely fine if you pay today (day 44).
