Hi Jessica, and welcome back to planDisney! I love Bowes candles, especially the Remini-Scents Memories Collection. Those Disney World-inspired scents are the perfect souvenir for bringing a bit of the magic home with you! And you can even make your own candle at the store in Disney Springs.
Now, let’s get to your question on gift cards. I checked with the
Bowes Signature Candles store and confirmed that they do not accept Disney gift cards for payment. If you’re looking to use your gift cards, I’ve seen candles sold from time to time in Disney-owned stores in the theme parks and resort hotels. Most recently, I saw a Christmas tree-shaped candle in Creations Shop at EPCOT. And in the past, I’ve also seen candles at
La Boutique in Riviera Resort and at
Bayview Gifts in the Contemporary Resort.
If you’ll be at Disney Springs soon, don’t miss all of the uniquely themed trees as part of the
Christmas Tree Stroll. You can pick up a map at one of the designated locations to get started. And once you find them all, head back to where you started to pick up a little holiday surprise!
One more thing before I go. I wanted to share my favorite Disney gift card tip. If you have an iPhone and use Disney gift cards a lot, you can use the gift cards through Apple Wallet. This makes it super easy to pay by gift card, without needing to find the cards in your park bag. Once you have one
gift card set up in Apple Wallet, you can use the
Disney Gift Card website to transfer funds from any new gift cards to the one in your mobile wallet.
I hope you have a magical visit to Disney World coming up very soon! And if you have any other questions, we’d love to have you back at planDisney.
