    Can I use Disney gift cards to fund my onboard account? If so, can I charge my onboard account for Disney organized excursions and onboard activities by using the onboard account funded by the Disney gift cards?

    Hi Michael,

    Welcome aboard planDisney! You are so close to your Disney Cruise Line vacation! Are you counting down the days?!

    You will be happy to know you can use Disney Gift Cards as your Onboard Account payment. During Online Check-In, one of the items you must complete is selecting how you wish to pay for anything charged to your stateroom folio. Select Cash/other under the Payment Information question if you plan to use Disney Gift Cards. You will need to stop by the Guest Services Desk and either add your gift card to your account at the beginning of your cruise or pay down your account throughout your cruise based on the following credit limits (limits are subject to change):
    2 to 5 days = credit limit of $300.00 USD
    6 to 9 days = credit limit of $500.00 USD
    10 days or greater = credit limit of $700.00 USD.

    Your Port Adventures, onboard activities, and other expenses will be charged to your stateroom folio, so if you are using Disney Gift Cards for your stateroom charges, you are set! During your cruise, you can check the balance on your stateroom account in the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app under the "More" menu. 

    If you don't spend your entire gift card during your vacation, the balance will be returned to your original form of payment. The easiest way to do this is to bring one of the actual gift cards you used as payment (or a copy of the digital gift card) to the Guest Services Desk on the last night of your cruise after all charges have been posted. The Crew Member will refund the balance and you can save it for your next Disney vacation!

    I hope this information is helpful, Michael! Please let us know if you have other questions; we are always happy to assist other Guests with their vacation planning.

    Wishing you many magical memories,
    Shannon

Hi! I'm a dreamer and doer who loves exploring the big blue world! My love for Disney began at Walt Disney World Resort and after my first Disney Cruise Line vacation I was hooked. I especially enjoy the ships' adult-exclusive spaces and activities while experiencing the magic only Disney can create. A Land and Sea vacation combining an action-packed Walt Disney World Resort visit and a relaxing Disney Cruise Line voyage is my favorite way to do Disney. I can't wait to help you create your magical memories! Learn More About Shannon
