Hey there, hi there, Holly!
"You're as welcome as can be" to planDisney. Thanks for submitting a question about two of my favorite topics:
- Eating at the Disneyland Resort, and
- Saving money while dining at the Disneyland Resort by using a gift card or dining card!
According to the terms and conditions of Disney Gift Cards, your Disney Dining Cards do not ever expire. This applies to Disney Gift Cards, Disney Parks Merchandise Credits, Disney Dining Cards, and Disney Store Merchandise Credits that are sold or issued in the United States, Also, there are no inactivity fees or other service fees to worry about.
To check the balance of Disney Gift Cards or Disney Dining Cards, simply visit the Disney Gift Card website and click the "Check Balance" link. Enter the gift card account number (usually a 16-digit number) and the Extended Account Number (EAN, usually an 8-digit number) on the form, activate the reCAPTCHA verification widget, then click the "Check Balance" button. Your card balance will be revealed on the next page. If you have any more questions about Disney Gift Cards and Disney Dining Cards, here's a link to the Disney Gift Card Contact Form and Frequently Asked Questions. You're welcome to ask more questions here at planDisney too. We are also regular Guests just like you. But we also happen to go to Disney Parks a lot and tend to use a lot of Disney Gift Cards. So odds are we may already be familiar with the answer to additional questions you may have.
So the next question is, what are you going to spend your Disney Dining Cards on, Holly? The Disney Eats: Disneyland 70th Celebration Foodie Guide includes a lot of yummy treats to try for a limited time. There's a video on that page that features my planDisney pal, Cody. He highlights a lot of great items. One of my favorites is the Celebration Matterhorn Macaroon. I love the coconutty deliciousness of it!
Whatever you choose to eat, I hope you have a most magical visit to The Happiest Place on Earth, Holly!
