Hi Kelly,
Thanks for joining us!
While there aren't any perks to using Disney Gift Cards at Walt Disney World Resort outside of the budgetary benefit of "pre-paying" for your vacation, there are some programs through large retailers that do result in a small cost savings when you purchase the gift cards. For example, Sam's Club offers a small discount on the purchase of Disney Gift Cards. If you purchase them at Target using a registered Target RedCard, you can save 5% off of the face value of the card. So there is a small way to stretch your vacation dollars.
A
Disney Rewards Visa Card from Chase does have several
perks! Depending on the card, you can earn a certain percentage back as Disney Dream Rewards Dollars, essentially a reloadable Gift Card accepted throughout the Disney brands. There are also exclusive Character encounters available only to cardholders at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. Plus, I love the reactions whenever a cashier in my daily, non-Disney life checks out the adorable Mickey and Minnie design on my card. It's a little bit of Pixie Dust sprinkled throughout my routine. Also, there are special financing and other cost-saving offers when you book your Disney vacation using your Disney Rewards Visa Card. It is definitely worth a look!
Please come back and visit us if you have any other questions, Kelly!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Sally
