I'm not quite sure where to post this so if it needs to be move go for it.

On the spur of the moment yesterday I booked a trip to the world for september and so i made the deposit and all and it just dawned on me that the rest of the trip is due next weekend and I am unsure that i would be able to pay off next week (usually ive just gotten a hotel room cause ive had an annual pass) i forgot that unlike a room resort ressie its due up front and not at check in... what will happen with my ressie if i cant pay the WHOLE thing off next week but like half of it or something

Thanks for the advice

Jill I see you haven't had a reply and being new to the Disthing I couldn't tell you. But since you see an issue I would call and discuss it with them, maybe the CM will have an answer for you.

Have fun on your trip!
 
i hadnt known that i had to pay 45 days in advance and so i asked a cast member if i could pay some of it before and then the rest at check-in
the cast member that i spoke to said that i couldn't do this that the whole trip had to be paid off 45 days ahead because they need to send you your package vouchers and encode your room key with everything that you put on your package. so i had to change my reservation to a later date so i could pay it off in time. i think that i also read somewhere that if you cant pay it on time that they'll cancel it. it really stinks that you have to pay a month ahead. sorry.
you might want to go on the disney world website and press the live chat button and just ask if you can do it but im sure that they'll say the same thing as they told me.
 
Thanks yeah I'll call later today and ask.. I owe like 400 left so what I'm hoping I can do is pay like half this week and then the rest the following week... So I will deffinately ask

Thanks!

Well actually my plans have changed... with Disney having extended free dining till December I'm going to be changing my dates to Dec 3-7.. AND i was able to talk my non-disney addicted friend to go which is a HUGE deal cause she pretty much has said she hates disney

... But yeah I envy the people that have the money to drop on a trip just 2 weeks away... ive done it before but it was just for a value resort room cause I had my annual pass and the room was very discounted and so was the flight (it was august like 3 years ago)

The answer on how people pay that book 2 weeks in advance, at least in our case is we have the money in a savings account already and just pay it outright when we book. We do not have the luxury of booking ahead due to the Army and deployments and leave that is unpredictable after the year away etc so we wing it. I've never had problems getting reservations we wanted so far, just we don't get the freebies like free dining etc we get whatever is offered at the time ( which normally is nothing ). Not everyone booking at 2 weeks did it just on a whim is all :)
 
I just wanted to say that disney does extend your reservation to pay up to 30 days before, but at the 30 day mark if it is not paid in full, they cancel the reservation. So it is sorta nice to have the extra 15 days of leeway!!! Hope this helps someone in the future!!!
 
I had this same issue, as here in Illinois, my expense check from the state was delayed due to state budget issues. A cast member recommended I keep my original package, but drop my ticket down to one day, in order to keep free dining. The cm said I can upgrade my 1 day tickets back to 7 day when I check in or at any other time over the phone. I thought this was a really helpful option. I will be able to pay the package off on my original date and it allows me to wait for my check to pay for the ticket upgrade.
