Hello Orla!
Welcome to planDisney! I am also a
Chase Disney Rewards Visa cardholder. We have been cardholders for more than a decade and I love using the card to save for our Disney vacations! Plus, the card designs are always fun. It’s amazing how many people comment on my Tinker Bell design or my husband’s Star Wars card. I always find it sweet when some teenage boy at McDonald’s mentions that my card is cool.
Orla, we do not receive standard discounts on
Disney Theme Park Tickets as cardholders. Once you have earned Disney Rewards Dollars though, you can apply those Rewards Dollars toward the purchase of tickets, resort rooms, dining, and merchandise.
There are quite a few other benefits that you may want to explore as well. If, in addition to your theme park tickets, you were planning to stay at a
Disney Resort Collection Hotel, cardholders do receive 6 months of interest-free payments on room and ticket packages. You’ll also receive 10% off at select merchandise and dining locations, including online at shopDisney. This means you get access to discounted merchandise even when you aren’t in the parks!
In addition to those regular benefits, from time to time, additional limited time only discounts or perks are offered. You may find discounted resort rooms at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, or Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, extra discounts on shopping, and exclusive pin designs. For example with the holidays coming, currently cardholders receive 20% off select purchases at shopDisney.
Another favorite perk for my family is the exclusive photo opportunities available in the parks. While things are a little different right now with pandemic protocols, typically there is a cardholder exclusive meet-and-greet available, where you get a private character meeting and receive complimentary downloads of those photos!
I hope this helps to answer your questions, Orla. Welcome to the cardholder family!
