Welcome BACK, Sharon!
It's oh so great to see your name back hEAR at planDisney! This can only mean one thing, you're headed back HOME soon!
This is a great question. At the current time,
Disney Gift Cards cannot be stored in either your
My Disneyland Account or your
Disneyland Mobile App the way that your credit card can. (Or, if you're thinking about other popular apps you might use daily, Disney Gift Cards cannot be stored the way a Target or Starbucks gift card can in their apps.) To use a
Disney Gift Card electronically at Disneyland Resort (or Walt Disney World Resort!) you have a few options:
~You can enter the information each time you'd like to place a
Mobile Food and Beverage Order or utilize
Merchandise Mobile Checkout. (The Pro Tip or hashtag Disney Hack with this is to open up a new note in your phone, enter your gift card information in the note, and then copy and paste from the note to the app every time you'd like to make a transaction. Don't forget to include the access code for each gift card. And, if you're really feeling super organized, you can list how much was initially on each Disney Gift Card and then update the card's balance in note whenever you use it.)
~You can save the
Disney Gift Card to your digital wallet on your phone or smartwatch. This might not be able to be entered in either of the mobile checkout options, but it's handy for all of those times you'll pay for something in-person.
~Lastly, if you have an
e-Disney Gift Card, you can take a screenshot of the scanner part and save it to your phone or smartwatch as a picture that can be scanned by a Cast Member. I love this option because I don't have to worry "what if" I can't find good wifi when trying to check out, and I don't have to frantically dig through my email inbox all day.
I hope that these helped to better plan your upcoming Disney days, Sharon! Be sure to follow the
