What if I have to cancel my Disney reservation?

If your reservation can be canceled online, you'll see a link for “Cancel Reservation.” If your reservation can only be cancelled by phone, you'll see a message indicating you need to call (407) 939-5277. Guests under age 18 must have parent or guardian permission to call. Please note that a cancelation fee may apply.



The consequences of canceling a Disney reservation depend entirely on the type of booking and the timing of your cancellation. For Disney Resort Hotel packages (which include tickets), you can generally receive a full refund if you cancel at least 30 days before your arrival. If you cancel between 2 and 29 days out, you will typically lose your $200 deposit. Cancellations made within 24 hours of arrival are usually non-refundable. If you have a "Room-Only" reservation, the window is more flexible, often allowing for a full refund up to 5 days before arrival. For Disney Dining reservations, the standard policy is that you must cancel at least 2 hours (previously 24 hours) in advance to avoid a per-person "no-show" fee, which is usually $10. If you have purchased "Disney Genie+" or individual Lightning Lanes, these are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable. For major events or the "Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser" (when it was active), the policies were much stricter. It is always wise to consider travel insurance for a Disney vacation, as the "pre-paid" nature of the trip makes last-minute cancellations financially painful.
