Hiya, Michael! Welcome to planDisney.
Oh,
Disney Gift Cards, how I love thee. Let me count the ways. Don't worry, I won't count
all the ways but I
do love collecting these cards to spend at the
Disneyland Resort, the
Walt Disney World Resort, or even
shopDisney. To be honest, they mostly go to shopDisney because I often can't always wait until my next
Disney vacation! And when certain stores offer discounts on these magical cards, it can be hard to resist. So let's figure out how to get these nifty cards onto your Apple Wallet for some added convenience.
At this time, Disney Gift Cards purchased through Costco are not able to be directly added to your Apple Wallet. However, there
is a creative workaround that I've used before that my fellow friends
Amy A. and
Aena have detailed on the site before. To do this, you would need to add your gift card(s) to the
Disney Gift Card website by adding your Account Number and EAN (obtained through your Costco email) and then use this gift card to
purchase a new digital gift card through shopDisney. Then, once you receive your email from shopDisney with your digital gift card information, you can click the "Add to Apple Wallet" icon.
Please note that you should always keep a copy of the digital gift card handy in case it is needed. I usually take a screenshot of it on my phone, but the email can also usually be printed. You can
keep track of your gift card balance through the Disney Gift Card website or check the balance on your receipts each time you make a payment at the resort.
Michael, I hope this workaround is successful for you and that you put that gift card to good use! But let's be real here, if you're using it at the Disneyland Resort, you are already putting it to good use. Between
snacks,
merchandise, and so many other places you can apply one of these gift cards to, you'll be adding magic to your visit each time you use it.
If you have any other questions, please be sure to
contact me directly and I'll get those answers for you!
Just keep wishing,
Matt
