Hey there, Jeff!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel. You are so fortunate to have received so many
Disney Gift Cards! These are truly THE perfect gift as they can be used on virtually anything at the Disney Parks, Disney Resort Hotels, Disney Store, and shopDisney.com. My friends and family always purchase these for me, because they know it's the gift that keeps on giving with magical experiences.
Using an electronic Disney Gift Card is not that much different from a physical Disney Gift Card when you head to the Disneyland Resort. If you have an electronic bar code, merchandise locations and restaurants can scan this. I have also printed out paper copies of this bar code and card number so that it can be scanned easier if my phone is acting up. Cast Members can also always manually enter the bar code numbers if necessary. You can also easily
manage and transfer your gift card balances to combine them into one convenient bar code to make things even more simple.
I personally love using Disney Gift Cards, because it's so much easier to manage and budget my spending while I'm on vacation. Plus they are a safe way to spend since you can register them online if lost or stolen.
I hope this helps, and please return if you have any other questions about planning your magical vacation. Have a Fantasmic day!
