    Can I add a Disney gift card as a payment method on my Disney account?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Susan. Thanks again for taking the time to stop by with another great question for us. I see you’re looking to add a Disney Gift Card as a form of payment on your MyDisney account. 

    I love the flexibility of Disney Gift Cards and I’m delighted to see you have “magic money” (as my children used to say when they were younger when they received Disney Gift Cards from grandparents) to spend during your upcoming visit! Disney Gift Cards can be used throughout Disneyland Resort towards merchandise, as well as for food and beverages at participating Disney owned-and-operated locations. When you’re using the Disneyland App to place mobile orders for food and beverages, you can input your Disney Gift Card information and use it as a form of payment. Unlike a credit or debit card, unfortunately you cannot save the gift card information as a form of payment, and you’ll need to input the gift card numbers each time you’re prompted in the App and choose “Use a Different Payment Method” then “Add a Card” under Disney Gift Card. 

    Alternatively, I have found it helpful to directly add the Disney Gift Card to my phone's digital wallet and using that as a quick form of tap payment when purchasing food and beverages at dining kiosks or merchandise at retail locations. 

    I hope this information is helpful for you, Susan. Please don’t hesitate to visit us on planDisney again if you have more questions for us.

    Have a magical day,
    Kiki

Greetings! I have been fascinated by the magic of Disney since I was a little girl; now that I am a mother of two, I love watching my children experience Disney Parks through their own eyes. I am also surrounded by fellow Disney-loving nurse friends whom I enjoy quick adults-only Disneyland Resort escapes or Disney Cruise Line voyages with. Whether you are planning your once-in-a-lifetime family trip or a short adults-only getaway to the Happiest Place on Earth, I am here to help!
