As of now, room-only reservations can be canceled without penalty up to five days prior to arrival. However, starting in 2025, guests will need to cancel their reservations at least eight days before arrival to avoid forfeiting their deposit, equivalent to one night’s cost.

The cancellation policy for vacation packages, comprising both hotel rooms and park tickets, remains unchanged. Guests have the option to cancel the entire package up to 30 days before their scheduled arrival date and receive a full refund. Cancellations made between two to 29 days before arrival will incur a $200 fee. However, canceling on the day before or on the day of arrival will result in the forfeiture of the entire package cost.
