Welcome to planDisney, Serena! I'm so glad to be able to answer your question today. It sounds like you're planning your budget for your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World, and I'm happy to help you figure out what methods of payment you can use while you're there. Let's jump right in!
If your buy now, pay later card functions as a version of a major credit card network, think Visa, Mastercard, or American Express, you can use it at Walt Disney World
shops and registers just like any other card. At checkout, your card will be charged the full purchase amount, then you'll repay the purchase over time according to the installment plan you set up with your card issuer. From Disney's perspective, it's just a standard credit card transaction.
You've also got flexibility with mobile wallets. Most merchandise locations accept Apple Pay and Google Wallet, so if your card is available in your digital wallet, you can tap to pay at the terminal. It's a handy backup if you prefer not to carry a physical card, or if your card provider only gives you a virtual card in a mobile wallet.
If you're staying at a
Disney Resort Hotel and prefer to charge purchases to your room, you can link a card to your folio and tap to pay with your
MagicBand, and then your linked card is charged at the end of your trip. This can be your buy now, pay later card as long as it's on a major network. Just remember: no matter how you pay at the register, your buy now, pay later agreement comes from your card provider, not Disney, so make sure that you are fully aware of the installments, due dates, and fees involved.
I hope this answers your question, Serena, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation!
