Hi Sandra! I'm so excited to see your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation starts in two short days!!!
We have several
Disney Gift Cards as well. I love purchasing them throughout the year. I combine them into one or two gift cards and use them while on vacation. It's such a great way to help me budget for my Walt Disney World Resort vacations!
I encourage you to ask a Cast Member at the front desk of
Disney's Yacht Club Resort if you are able to add your Disney Gift Cards to your file. However, I will tell you what we have done in the past so you have a backup plan if needed. I love the convenience of charging food, merchandise and other items to my
MagicBand. At the end of the day, we stop by the front desk of our
Resort hotel and use our Disney Gift Card to pay for our current charges. It typically takes very little time and is fairly effortless.
Not only does this avoid my debit/credit card from getting charged, but I can more closely monitor my expenses throughout my vacation.
Even if you do
online check-in, be sure you stop by the front desk as soon as you check-in so you can discuss options regarding your Disney Gift Cards.
Disney's Yacht Club Resort is one of our favorite Resort hotels!! You are going to love it! The Resort hotel is beautiful, the location is perfect, the
dining is delectable, and
Stormalong Bay (the 750,000-gallon, beachside water wonderland) is amazing!!! My son would stay at Disney's Yacht Club Resort or
Disney's Beach Club Resort every visit if he could!
Thanks so much for this question and all of the others you have shared with the Disney Parks Moms Panel! It's so humbling to be able to help you plan your magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation.
Have a magical vacation filled with fun and pixie dust!
