Hi, Teresa!
Thanks for coming back to ask
Disney Parks Moms Panel another question; we love to help!
One of my favorite planning activities is checking on my Disney Dream Reward Dollars balance on my
Disney Rewards Card prior to heading
Walt Disney World. Having that extra money available to spend on dining, souvenirs or even park tickets or tours is a great way to feel that we are splurging...at no additional cost!
When we stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, Cast Members at the front desk have told me that while they cannot apply a credit (from Disney Gift Cards or from a Disney Rewards Card) to my account, we
can charge to our room account using our
MagicBands. Once there are some charges on our account, we can then head to the front desk and have them apply our Disney Dream Reward Dollars from our Disney Rewards Redemption Card to pay down that charged total.
Thus, you can park hop as a "Guest with no bags", shop and dine while using your MagicBand to pay for all of the fun. Grab your Disney Rewards Redemption Card from your
Walt Disney World Resort hotel room's safe and ask a Cast Member at the front desk to apply those dollars to your room account. Again, this is a great way to help your vacation dollars go a little further as you tour, dine and shop your way around the most magical place on Earth!
Send more questions as you think of them, Teresa. Happy to help you get the most magic out of your Walt Disney World vacation!
