Refund Policy Overview
The Park Prodigy is a registered travel agency and will always follow the exact same guidelines put forward by The Walt Disney Travel Company, Universal Parks & Resorts Vacations and Disney Cruise Line.
Theme Park Ticket Refund Policy
Most ticket sales orders are nonrefundable. While you cannot cancel or get a refund for tickets, you may be able to change the date of your unused tickets. Guests can apply the value of unused theme park tickets towards the purchase of any higher-priced ticket or annual passes. Unused tickets applied towards tickets of lower value will not be given a refund for the difference in price.
Certain ticket orders may be eligible for our 180-day refund policy. Please reach out to our customer service team to confirm if your tickets are eligible or not.

Disney Cruise Line
Changes to the vacation commencement date or changes of Guest names will be considered cancellations. For cancellations, amounts paid, minus cancellation fees and other amounts owed, will be promptly refunded. No refunds will be made in the event of interruption or cancellation by the Guest after vacation commencement date. All appropriate refunds will be made directly to the Guest’s credit card account or through the Guest’s Travel Agent if the reservation is made through a Travel Agent. Disney Cruise Line is not responsible for the receipt of refund monies by Guests from their Travel Agents. All travel documents including airline tickets must be returned before refund processing can begin. Certain Travel Agents may withhold an agency cancellation fee. Disney Cruise Line reserves the right to restrict any changes to a reservation. All changes are subject to availability. Please note that changes made to overall party size may result in a change to the rate. For your peace of mind, we recommend the purchase of the Disney Cruise Line Vacation Protection Plan, which is administered by Aon Affinity and underwritten by Arch Insurance Company (disneycruise.disney.go.com/contracts-terms-safety/vacation-protection-plan/). Premiums for the Disney Cruise Line Vacation Protection Plan must be paid by the final payment date, and the Disney Cruise Line Vacation Protection Plan is not effective until final vacation payment is made.

Requests must be made within 90 days of the original scheduled sail date and must include a copy of the cruise confirmation, proof and amount of payment, and cancellation or delay notice. All documentation should clearly display the vessel and scheduled date of sailing.
