So, we are taking our first trip to DL & have money saved in a Disney Vacation Acct. & Disney gift cards.
I think I can use our DVA to purchase theme park tickets (in advance), but not to pay for a room-only reservation at a Disney hotel (you can only use a DVA for packages at DL, it appears).
Would it be possible to make a room-only reservation, paying the required deposit with a credit card, and then make payments (either on the phone or at the hotel front desk) with Disney gift cards? With WDW, I did that once.
Can someone also tell me when the full balance would need to be paid for a room-only reservation? Is it when I am on my vacation? I ask because I expect a spring discount to come out if the past is any indication, but it may not come out until a few weeks or so before I go. I would like to avoid paying with gift cards and then having to have any overpayment credited back to the gift cards. Also, can the original reservation be modified to reflect a discount, or do I need to rebook it entirely?
Many thanks for any help! I am so excited for the trip and have found so much great help from the DISboards & DISunplugged already.
