Hey there, Cathy, and welcome back to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by the panel with your question! Your arrival date is right around the corner. Before you know it you’ll be strolling down Main Street U.S.A. hopefully with a Mickey Bar in tow!
Cathy, as you stated, your
MagicBand can be used to charge resort purchases back to your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel folio. I have great news: Gift Cards can be applied to your resort hotel folio during your Disney vacation! We love to save up gift cards throughout the year to support my Disney Snack habit! After a Disney Day of shopping and dining, I make a quick stop by the
resort Front Desk to apply the gift card funds to my account. In my experience, my hotel folio charges have been processed to my credit card each night, not as I swipe my MagicBand. So as long as I apply the gift card funds daily before the end of the evening, the charges never hit my credit card!
I hope this helps, Cathy!
Let me know if you have more questions.
You’ve got a friend in me,
PG
