Welcome to
planDisney, Eric, we thank you for consulting us and for this excellent question!
I too have discovered the great possibilities of using the
Disney Gift Card for any purchases while on
shopDisney and during my Disney vacations. On my current trip, I have used my gift cards either in my mobile device digital wallet or in my Payment Method in the
My Disney Experience App. The great thing about storing the Disney Gift Card in the My Disney Experience App, is that the app has the capability of storing up to six payment methods, isn't that great?!
Here is how to add a Payment Method to the
My Disney Experience App:
1. Sign in and on the
Home Page please select the three stacked lines on the bottom right.
2. From your
Welcome Eric page, please select
My Profile and then choose
Payment Method to enter your information.
You can keep track of your balance from the receipts received for any Walt Disney World Resort dining, or purchase locations, or you can track your balance and even add more funds directly through
Disney Gift Card.
Tips:
By adding a Payment Method to the My Disney Experience App you will enjoy the convenience of
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering during your visit and adding any other vacation essential purchases such as the
Disney Genie+ service which will save you time waiting in Lightning Lane entrances.
Please ensure you make your
Disney Park Pass - Theme Park Reservations using valid Walt Disney World Resort theme park admission in advance of your visit as this is the method of visiting the theme parks at this time.
Using the My Disney Experience App create a Disney Magic Mobile pass to access your Walt Disney World Resort theme park admission from your mobile device's digital wallet with
Disney MagicMobile Service - this way you use your mobile device to enter the theme parks and attractions - I was even able to access my theme park admission by using my Apple Watch and it was awesome as it connected to the
Disney PhotoPass and many other activity touchpoints such as when I was designing a
Test Track virtual concept car - "SIM Car" at the Chevrolet Design Center before enjoying my test and speed ride!
I hope this information helps you out, Eric and I wish you a most magical visit to Walt Disney World Resort, thank you kindly!
