resort package or resort only

[carolynb]

We usually book resort only promos and get our tickets from Undercover Tourist. What are the requirements for package deals as to when and how much is the deposit and when the package has to be paid in full. Thanks.

$200 deposit at booking, full payment due 45 days prior to arrival. (plus various change fees depending on when they are made in relation to arrival day)

Thanks--What is the cancelation policy?

Just cancelled my room only that I made last night since this morning you could get the 30% savings online and the tickets are also discounted if you get at least a 4 day ticket with your package. My May vacation yesterday was $1300 more than the exact same reservation at the Beach Club this morning with the resort and ticket discounts. You may want to price it out because I'm not sure how much you could save over the current deal with Undercover Tourist.

Also, since it's now a package it's 6 months no interest with the Disney Visa. Can't do that with just a room only with separate tickets if that matters to you.

I copied the info straight from my e-mail confirmation below. It's long but covers everything you were asking about.

Deposit and Payment Procedures



Deposit - A deposit of $200 per reservation plus the price of any published or promotional airfare is due at the time of booking or the reservation is not confirmed. For reservations that include vacation insurance, the total price of vacation insurance plan may also be due at the time the deposit is due.

Final Payment - For reservations made 46 days or more prior to guest arrival, final payment is due to Walt Disney Travel Co., Inc. (may be referred to as "Disney") at least 45 days prior to guest arrival. For reservations made 45 days or less prior to guest arrival, full payment is due to Walt Disney Travel Co., Inc. at time the reservation is booked. Payments may be made online with a valid credit card number or made by check or money order and sent to Walt Disney Travel Co., Inc., P.O. Box 409668, Atlanta, GA 30384-9668.

Receipt of travel documents by guest is proof of final payment and, therefore, no other confirmation of receipt of final payment will be sent.




Cancellation Fees Prior to Guest Arrival



Cancellation of Reservation - If the reservation is cancelled amounts paid, minus cancellation fees, vacation insurance premium, and other amounts owed, will be refunded. For cancellations made 44 days or less prior to guest arrival, there is a cancellation fee of $200 per package, plus any cancellation fees assessed by third party hotels or other suppliers.

Guest will be responsible for any cancellation fees assessed by an airline. In the case of a non-refundable airline ticket, the cancellation fee is equal to the entire ticket price. Cancellation of a refundable airline ticket must be made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled airline departure time.

Vacation insurance plan cost is nonrefundable.




Change Fees and Changes to Reservations Made Prior to Guest Arrival



Changes to Reservation - For a change made 44 days or less prior to guest arrival that results in a change in the package price, a change fee of $50 per package, plus any change fees assessed by hotels or other suppliers, will be charged. Such change fees must be paid in addition to any increase in the package price resulting from the change. If air travel has been ticketed, guest will be responsible for any increase in airfare as well as the change fee assessed by the airline.

Changes to reservations which affect outbound flights or first night's accommodations must be made at least 7 business days prior to guest arrival. Land portions of the reservation cannot be canceled without also canceling the air portion of the reservation booked through Disney. Airlines/hotels/suppliers do not permit changes in certain situations. All existing travel documents must be returned to Disney via overnight delivery service and revised travel documents will be delivered to guest via express service, both at guest's expense.

Disney reserves the right to restrict changes to any reservation.




Refunds



No refunds will be given to no-shows. No refunds will be made for unused admission tickets, options or features, including meals. No refunds for airline tickets will be made after travel has commenced or if a flight is missed/delayed. Any refunds allowed by Disney in its sole discretion after arrival must be requested in writing within 60 days after departure and will be assessed a $25 processing fee. All travel documents (including paper airline tickets) must be returned to Disney in order to process any refund. Disney reserves the right to make refunds in accordance with the method that payment was received. All appropriate refunds will be made through the guest's travel agent if the reservation is made through a travel agent. Disney is not responsible for the receipt of refund monies by guests from their travel agents.
