I recommend paying online or through the app when possible for convenience. However, the phone and mail options allow you to use payment types like checks and money orders if needed.

Tips for Managing Your Disney Bill

Here are some helpful tips for staying on top of your Disney payments:

• Sign up for bill reminders: Disney allows you to opt-in to receive emails, texts, or app notifications when a bill payment is due. This helps avoid late fees.

• Automate payments: Setting up automatic monthly payments from a credit card or bank account can ensure you never miss a payment deadline.

• Link reservations: If you have multiple Disney reservations, make sure they are all linked to the same Disney account so you can easily manage payments.

• Use Disney gift cards: Purchasing Disney gift cards over time is an easy way to pay down your balance. They can be used towards any Disney bill or expense.

• Know cancellation policies: If you need to cancel part of your package, be aware of Disney’s cancellation policies to avoid cancellation fees.

• Book with a points vacation: Using credit card rewards points for your booking means less out-of-pocket costs. Just make sure to pay any remaining fees not covered by points.

• Purchase travel insurance: In case you need to cancel your trip entirely, travel insurance can reimburse you for non-refundable Disney payments.
