You can go to the WDW official website, http://disneyworld.disney.go.com tickets and reservations section and get quotes.

Room only is one night - we just booked for room only and our deposit was $140.00 - we were told it depends on your travel dates. Room only needs to be paid upon arrival.

Like the others have said, for room only, Disney requires a one night deposit. That will include tax and any extra adult fees. If you go to the Disney website and plug in all the information like you're going to book, it will tell you exactly how much the deposit will be. And as of 1/1 the starting rate for the Value Resorts is now $79 a night.

As I stated, we are going in October , you pay the rate for value, regular or peak season - that is why it will say $77 - $139 a night. Also, you pay the taxes for that first night.

The policy as I understand it:jacobsj20 said:
If you book a room only though WDW reservations (phone or website) it is one night's rate plus tax. The balance gets paid upon check-in. If you book a package (room and admission or dining), it is a flat $200 with the balance due 45 days prior to arrival. Both have different cancellation policies so be sure to ask. Some discount programs, such as annual passholder, have different policies.
I beleive if you book through a travel agent that they follow Disney's deposit requirements ~ as they must forward the deposit to Disney.

We stayed at Pop after Thanksgiving. We only had to put down one nights room cost as a deposite and paid the balance upon arrival.

We reserved rooms only at Pop Century through a TA and could only pay one night's deposit plus tax, or $111.88 during Regular season. The new reservation system does not permit paying more than the one night, nor can payments be applied prior to check in.
