Hello there Skylee, welcome to planDisney! How exciting that you'll be making a trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth" soon.
You should not have an issue making a payment with a Disney Gift Card prior to your arrival, I have done that many times. Go ahead and visit the
Disneyland Resort site and navigate to "My Disneyland" in the top right-hand corner, then click on "
My Hotel Reservations". This will prompt you to sign in-to your account if you haven't already, and you'll be able to view your upcoming reservations and
Disneyland Resort Hotel Vacation Package. You can then select "Make Payment", and you'll be able to scroll to the option to pay with your Disney Gift Card.
If you have more than one Disney Gift Card to use, you will want to visit the official
Disney Gift Card site to combine the balances since you can only input one Disney Gift Card number for the payment. If you have a remaining balance for your vacation package after using your gift card, you can then use your credit card to pay for that remaining balance.
It looks like you'll be visiting the "Merriest Place on Earth" during
Holiday Time! There are so many wonderful ways to celebrate the Holiday season whether you want to taste dishes from different cultures around the world during the
Disney Festival of the Holidays at
Disney California Adventure Park, or just take in the beautiful
Holiday décor and festive lights. I highly recommend catching a viewing of
World of Color - Season of Light at Disney California Adventure Park, it combines some of our favorite holiday songs with our beloved Disney characters, it is absolutely magical!
I hope you're to able to successfully use that pixie dusted Disney Gift Card for your trip Skylee! If we can help with any other questions for your upcoming trip,
please come back and ask!
Have a magical day,
Melissa
