The big internet travel sites don't really handle this well. They want all of your money up front whenever you book a vacation. They may do just a deposit for a cruise, but if you want to do an all-inclusive or a Disney trip 6 to 12 months from now, instead of paying just a deposit, you have to give them the entire price up front.
Now, it is true that when you book a vacation like this you normally will have to pay the flight costs in full as well as a deposit to the resort. However, I know of one supplier that will allow you, for a $10/person fee, to have a very small ($235/person) non-refundable deposit that even includes the airfare! Now, if you book something like this, I definitely recommend that you purchase cancel for any reason Travel Insurance to make sure that you are protected.

This works for cruises as well. Cruise deposits range from $50/person to $250/person with final payments being due 45-60 days prior to the sailing. Unlike airfares, cruise schedules are available sometimes 2 years out. With cruises, as long as you cancel before 60 days (normally) all monies paid are refundable. If something happens, then you can either change the cruise or get your money back. The cool thing is that if prices drop, you often can get that lower price or get On Board Credit to spend on board.
So, where do you want to go? How much do you want to set aside per month? How much of a deposit can you afford? When would you like to go? Answer these questions and we can get your vacation of a lifetime on layaway right away!
This is a great benefit to promote. I have several clients making payments on their vacations, when it didn't seem to be as popular in the past.
