    When booking a Disney visa early promo, is only the initial down payment required on the visa or is the entire trip required to be put on said visa? Or is it possible to pay trip off afterwards with another card? Thanks!

      Heather, you have to put a deposit–I think it’s $200–on your Disney Visa to get the early Disney Visa deal. But after that you can pay the balance how you choose!!

    Are the studios at the Wilderness Lodge considered a vacation club villa?

      Shannon, the Studios are in the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge, next to the Wilderness Lodge itself–so yes.

    Hi I called this morning (Disney) since I had a pre-existing summer reservation. They only had royal rooms at POR and they were more money even with the 20 percent off. They told me there were no discounted rooms left at CBR and there were a few at CS but they couldn;t guarentee two near each other and I needed two rooms? Have you had much success in your bookings? I called today from 10:15 to about 11:05 – yes it took that long – they said there were very limited rooms available. Last year I was able to get one right away! Thanks for any advice you have!

    Rachel, the discounts typically apply to your check-in date, so you should be ok if you are checking in on the 25th, the discount will apply to your whole stay.

      AJ that’s how free dining works, but it’s not how room deals work. Room deals apply only to the dates within the announced window.

    Hello – Are the dates usually the same for the Visa deals and general public deals? Does Disney typically release a “late summer” discount for the second half of August into September? (We are visiting WDW Aug. 25-Sept. 1 and were hoping for a room discount for the entire length of our stay.) Thanks for all your help and great info!

      Rachel, yes. No guarantees, but “usually” and “typically” are right.
