I planned on doing the same thing your doing and sending in monthly payments.

We've booked through All Seasons Travel and yes, we've been able to call in each month and tell them how much we want to put towards the balance of our cruise. They have our credit card number on file, and I simply give them our name and cruise date and tell them "please use the same credit card that you have on file, for $xxx" and they do! Each month when I do this they send me a new statement (both email AND a paper statement in the real mail) showing all of the payments I've made to date, and the new remaining balance. I know that if you book directly with Disney, you can even go online and make payments on their web site. Which TA told you that Disney doesn't take more than 4 payments? Since when would Disney refuse money? LOL I can kind of see her point, but I don't believe this is Disney's policy; I bet it's her
travel agent's policy, if at all.
P.S. We use a Visa card that is linked to our checking account so I can go online and see the daily activity. It usually takes a couple of days to show up, but it goes through as a payment in
Disney Cruise Line's name, not our travel agent's. Our TA simply does the paperwork for us

I find this to be very convenient, we feel much better making these payments and seeing our balance going down. We'll have our August cruise paid off in a few more months, then we'll continue to use that same amount to put aside into a savings account to build up to the amount we want to take with us for spending money, excursions, etc.
Hope this info helps!
