You can make payments at any time. Understand that for every credit/debit/Apple Pay transaction, there is a fee.

You can pay in full at the prices listed above.
TICKET SALE DEADLINES:
1. 1/20-TICKET SALES BEGIN
2. 2/27-ANY ONE WHO HAS PAID ON INSTALLMENTS MUST HAVE THE BALANCE PAID IN FULL
3. 2/27-AFTER THIS DAY, NO REFUNDS-NO EXCEPTIONS
4. 3/17-LAST DAY OF TICKET SALES-IF WE RUN OUT OF SEATS EARLIER, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW. We do take a waiting list because if someone can't go, they'll need to sell their ticket to someone on the waiting list. Disney has a no-refund policy.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:
1. The buses are filled as we sell the tickets, so if you want to sit with your friends on the same bus, you'll have to purchase them together.
2. You MUST have your signed permission slip filled out when you buy your ticket--you can't purchase your ticket without it (if you are 18, you still need a parent-signed slip).
3. There are NO refunds after 2/27. If something happens, we will all try to get it sold for you, but if we can't, you'll not receive a refund.
I completely understand that these prices are a bit steep--it goes up every year. All I can say is that ACHS has absolutely nothing to do with the prices. We are charging EXACTLY what it costs. This is NOT a fundraiser. Should you have concerns or would like to discuss the prices with Disney and/or Santa Barbara Airbus, feel free to contact them. It is a great experience and one that has limited tickets, regardless, so anything we can do to help make it happen for you, let me know.
Thank you! We're looking forward to a wonderful experience!
