Hey howdy hey, Todd! Thanks for swinging by planDisney with this great question. I spent a bit of time trying to figure out how to do this myself a few months ago, and finally figured out that I could not link my
Disney Gift Cards to the
Disneyland mobile app. However, there is a workaround for this!
The good news is, you CAN use a Disney Gift Card as your payment method for many types of in-app purchases such as
Mobile Ordering,
Disney Genie+ service and
Merchandise Mobile Checkout. So, keep your Disney Gift Card number handy and cut and paste it into the app when needed. I typically keep the Disney Gift Card number in my notepad on my phone, so I can access it easily to cut and paste when making a purchase.
I really like using Disney Gift Cards on our vacations as it helps us budget for the trip in advance. My kids also receive Disney Gift Cards for birthdays and holidays so they have spending money on our trips.
Hope this workaround helps you too. Have a blast, Todd!
