Hello there, Patricia, and welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for submitting your question to us and how wonderful that you are planning a Disneyland Resort visit with such a large and eclectic (at least in age) group of Guests!
I'm happy to report that Disney Gift Cards are readily accepted as a form of payment throughout the Disneyland Resort. The only exception would be stores and vendors who are not owned by Disney, which you will mostly find at the
Downtown Disney District. Otherwise, those Disney Gift Cards can be used at most places (including mobile purchases through the
Disneyland Mobile App). Trust me, they won't be burning a hole in your pocket for much longer!
Did you also know that you're able to keep track of all your Disney Gift Cards through
DisneyGiftCard.com? You can even combine and consolidate multiple Gift Cards into one (up to a maximum of $1000). It's a great way to move funds around especially if you have a bunch of lower values cards.
As far as discounts, I would recommend checking the
Offers and Discounts page every now and then as your visit nears. As of this writing, no discounts have been released for the time period covering your visit, but you never know!
Patricia, thanks again for stopping by and have fun planning a super fun trip! Please feel free to write again if you think of any more questions. We'd love to continue being involved in the planning and we're always happy to help. Until next time!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
