Hi there Mary, welcome to planDisney! How exciting that your trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth" is coming up so soon!
You absolutely can use electronic versions of Disney Gift Cards at the
table service restaurants as well as
quick service locations throughout both
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park. You can do this a couple of ways, I've used both during previous trips.
The first is to print out your electronic Disney Gift Card and keep it with you. The Cast Members have been able to scan it for payment when they present our check for the meal without issue. Another option would be to register your gift card on the
Disney Gift Card site, and you could transfer the value to another physical gift card you have on hand. I recommend registering the gift card regardless just in case it ever gets lost!
It looks like you'll be visiting during
Holiday Time, which is truly the merriest time of the year! I highly recommend checking out the
Disney Festival of the Holidays at Disney California Adventure Park, it's such a great way to explore different holidays and cultures through delicious food!
I hope this information was helpful for your upcoming trip, Mary! I'm wishing you and your family a very merry visit, and
please come back and see us if we can help with anything else.
Have a magical day,
Melissa
