Hello Wendy!
Welcome again to planDisney! I don't know if you are like me and request
Disney Gift Cards for every holiday and birthday present. I love using them for my upcoming trip to Walt Disney World Resort.
You can use Disney Gift Cards for shopping, dining, and your Resort room balance! On my last family trip, I visited the Front Desk of my Resort a few times before checkout day to use a gift card to pay off the daily charges on my Resort Folio. My last trip to the Front Desk was the night before checkout day. While I can still charge more to the room on my checkout day even after checking out I like to keep my balance at zero by just using other payment methods and not charging back to my room. If I did charge back to my room I will find myself with an updated Resort Folio sent to my email in a few days. That's a sad thing to come home to. I suggest you do what I do and pay off the Room balance every few days to stay ahead of the charges before they apply to your actual credit card.
I don't know about you but tracking a ton of gift cards can be frustrating so I suggest combining the balances. You can do that right online via the
Disney Gift Card My Cards page. Know that the balances on each card can only max out at $1,000 so if you are lucky to have more than that know that you will still have to carry a few cards due to the limit.
I hope this helps and you have a lovely time! Happy Planning!
