Hiya Gabriela,
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for submitting your question to us.
Disney Gift Cards are a great way to plan budgets for visits to the
Disneyland Resort! I like to plan what snacks and souvenirs to buy on my visit and purchase a Disney Gift Card beforehand! It helps that each Disney Gift Card can hold up to $1000.00, so if you have multiple Disney Gift Cards, you can transfer the balances onto one card, just like magic!
I spoke with a Cast Member and Tracy Ann confirmed you can use a Disney Gift Card to pay for your meal! The credit card in your MyDisney account is used to make the reservation, but it is not charged, so at the end of your meal, you can pay with one (or several) Disney Gift Cards! I recommend letting the serving Cast Member at
Storytellers Cafe know that you wish to use a Disney Gift Card when being given the check at the end of the meal, submit your Disney Gift Card as payment! It’s easier than pronouncing “
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”!
Disney Gift Cards are available for purchase online or in most retail stores at the Disneyland Resort. They are also accepted in retail shops and at all dining locations in the parks! If you plan to use a Disney Gift Card for
mobile ordering, be sure to have the numbers on the gift card handy, as you may have to manually input them on certain orders. I had to do this on my recent visit during
Halloween Time, and while it was a bit tedious, the Disney Gift Cards were still accepted!
If you have other questions about the Disneyland Resort, remember - you’ve got a friend in me!
