Room only payment check-in question

[ALA3Princesses]

We have a room only for the Grand tomorrow. I have paid the first night and bought gift cards to pay the other 2 nights. Will my credit card be automatically charged before we get there, or will I be able to pay with the gift cards then? Or should I call and pay over the phone?
Thanks!

I already did online checkin a few days ago if that makes any difference.

Call and pay it off over the phone- they may charge your card in the wee hours of the morning before you check in for the other nights.

They've always charged our credit card before we even arrive at the resort, usually while we are flying to Orlando or riding the Magical Express. I would call the day before if I planned to use gift cards.

Call now and pay the balance using your gift cards over the phone. You can always pay in advance with a room only- we always do. No worries about money upon arrival.

If you put in a cc during online checkin, that's the card they seem to charge ahead of time. If you don't enter a cc they don't tend to charge ahead of time.

You got it taken care of, but I figured I'd give that bit that I have experienced.
