    I would like to use a Disney gift card to purchase the Photopass USB from our vacation. When I go to checkout it says it only allows Disney VISA or accepted credit /debit cards. Is it not possible to use the Disney gift card?

    Hello,

    Thanks for stopping into planDisney today Jacquelyn. Securing those memories is always so important, and Memory Maker is a convenient way to do that during your trip. There are multiple ways that you can download your pictures or purchase the entire album. If you would like to purchase a USB with all your pictures that can be done on the Disney PhotoPass website. This website will also give you options to purchase the Memory Maker archive disc. While Disney gift cards are something you can use to purchase a lot of things, these items unfortunately are not eligible. Some other items I have found that are not eligible to purchase are your MagicBand+ purchase with your stay at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel. This has also taught me while at the parks and using gift cards for payments, to ask the cashier or someone in the store if they take payments with Disney gift cards. There are more than a few locations at EPCOT that do not. So always ask ahead of your purchase. 

    If you are thinking about downloading the photos instead of purchasing the PhotoPass USB archive, there are a few ways to do it. The first way is how I get my pictures. I download them straight to my cell phone from the My Disney Experience App. This way I can post my family photos on social media right away. Even while still in the parks. You can download them one at a time this way you don’t have to wait a long time. The next way I could recommend would be with your home computer. You can visit the website and download them all at once. Just login to My Disney Experience from your computer and go to "My Photos." From there, you can filter it to "All Visible Media" and download it all at once. If you are still having issues with any of this, you can always call for assistance by phone. 

    I hope this information was helpful. 

    Have a magical day,
