    That's terrific! It's great going on a trip knowing it's already paid for. I hope the next 45 days go by in a hurry.

    Paying off a WDW trip in advance is always one of those triumphant moments

    Now you can save more money for souvenirs and Dole Whips

    Thanks for sharing!

    Default Congrats, but a Question

    People always talk about "paying off their WDW trip" and I don't understand. Why give them your money up front? Why not control your money until you actually spend it? If you have the discipline to save the entire amount, you have the discipline to put it in a savings account, then pay for everything from there. Then you keep control and can even earn interest (for those extra dole whips)! I charge everything, pay everthing off, so paying up front is just foreign to me. Love to hear why, thanks.

    Thats what I did, I paid the entire thing in one lump the day it was due, besides the $200 deposit that is to be paid right away. I have had the money saved this whole time, I just wanted to wait until the actual 45 day mark to pay it. Its just exciting having it all paid for!
