Oh boy, Terisa! I'm so thrilled you have a visit to the Happiest Place on Earth coming up so soon!
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your question! We're Disney Guests, just like you, who provide helpful tips and heartfelt advice, as well as share our experiences to help you have a magical Disney vacation!
Disney Gift Cards are good for practically all things Disney! However, it's good to know, Terisa, that not all outdoor carts or vendors may accept Disney Gift Cards, so it's always a good idea to check with a Cast Member before purchasing, if you're wanting to use your gift card. Typically, if a vendor doesn’t have a card reader, they won’t be able to process a gift card.
My Disney Gift Cards are used, almost exclusively, on mobile food orders via the
Disneyland app, which is where Disneyland really shines, in my opinion. I might have maybe one sit-down meal on any given day, and the rest of the time I'm snacking my way around the park. There's so much to try - especially after
Disney Eats recently made
multiple announcements on Instagram for brand new quick service food items! I've got my eye on the Peaches and Cream Bread Pudding from
Aunt Cass Café in San Fransokyo Square, among a million other things.
But be aware, Terisa, if you're wanting to use a Disney Gift Card for mobile food orders, Guests are unable to save a Disney Gift Card as a payment method within the Disneyland app, at this time. What I'll do is save the gift card number in the notes section of my phone and simply copy and paste the number into the app when making my purchase. It's easy.
I hope I was able to provide some helpful information for you, Terisa! As you continue to prepare for your upcoming visit, please don't hesitate to come back and
ask me another question! I'd love to share more of my tips and recommendations for a truly magical time in Disneyland, like maybe where to find more delicious seasonal treats or some strategies to make sure you hit all your top priorities.
Above all, from the bottom of my heart, I wish you the most magical visit, Terisa!
