Hi Anita, welcome to planDisney!
It sounds like you're well aware of some of the systems and processes in place to maximize the magic on your Walt Disney World Resort vacation next month. Spend less time waiting and more time doing/eating/souvenEARing with
Disney Genie+ service,
mobile food and beverage ordering, and
merchandise mobile checkout using the
My Disney Experience mobile app.
Disney Rewards Redemption Cards cannot be saved as a payment method in your My Disney Experience account, but they can be entered as a form of payment when completing a purchase. I have to remind myself of the in-app thumb choreography each trip, which I'll share with you now:
1. When reviewing your order summary, click "Use a Different Payment Method," which appears under the "Check out with Apple Pay" button on my iPhone.
2. Click "Add a Card" and select "Disney Rewards Redemption Card." *Pro tip: I recommend saving your Disney Redemption Card number as a note on your phone so you can copy and paste it easily.
3. Click "Continue" and follow the prompts to complete the transaction.
I love carrying a piece of Disney magic around in my wallet. When using your Disney Visa for retail purchases, kindly note that the Disney Visa discount cannot currently be applied to mobile checkout purchases, but Cast Member cashiers are happy to apply this discount for you.
I hope this is helpful information, Anita. Please return to planDisney with any other trip-planning questions.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
