Hi Brittany!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney! I'm a big fan of purchasing Disney Gift Cards ahead of my Walt Disney World Resort vacation. I like to purchase small amounts each month to help budget for spending money on our trip. You'll find Disney Gift Cards widely accepted around Walt Disney World Resort which makes them a super helpful Mouseketool during your trip!
Brittany, I'm happy to share that you can use Disney Gift Cards to make purchases in your
My Disney Experience Mobile App. When you go to checkout from your purchase, you should see an option to enter a Disney Gift Card as payment. You can only use one gift card per transaction and your gift card information cannot be saved in the app for future use, but I have a few helpful tips I can share to streamline their use! First, did you know you can combine the value of multiple gift cards on the
Disney Gift Card website? Simply log into your account, and enter the gift card numbers from all of your cards. You can then transfer money to a single card (up to $1000 per card) so you have a few gift cards to manage during your vacation. I also suggest typing your gift card number (or numbers) into a notes app on your phone. This will make it easy to cut and paste into the app each time you need to use it.
Did you know that you can use mobile checkout in the My Disney Experience app to save time waiting in line at many dining and retail locations? We like to use
Mobile Food and Beverage Ordering at Quick-Service locations while in the parks. You can plan out your return times and place your orders early in the day for later meals or wait until you're ready to eat and check available pick-up times at nearby locations. In addition,
Merchandise Mobile Checkout is available at several retail locations to make purchasing those mouse ears and souvenirs a breeze. My panelist pal
Matt just recently shared a reel on the
planDisney Instagram page that shows how easy this process is to complete!
Brittany, I hope this information helps you enjoy the best days ever on your Disney vacation! You are always welcome to be our guest here at planDisney so please stop by to see us again if you have any other questions!
See ya real soon!
