    We have about $3000 in Disney gift cards, over the past year we've asked our fam to gift that instead of anything else because we knew we were going this year. I was told to consolidate them on the website but there's a $1000 cap, what can we do?

    Hi Melinda, and Welcome to planDisney! I’m so glad you stopped by with your question. 

    I understand how planning a Walt Disney World vacation can add up, and it’s fantastic that you’ve been so resourceful with Disney Gift Cards! It’s also a great idea to look into other ways to save, like purchasing Resort Refillable Mugs and Refillable Popcorn Buckets and even bringing your own snacks and water into the parks to help keep costs down. Every little bit helps, and it’s terrific that you’re already ahead of the game.

    Unfortunately, each Disney Gift Card can hold a maximum of $1,000. Hakuna Matata,  you can use multiple gift cards to pay for things like your Theme Park Tickets, your Disney Resorts Collection hotel stay, or purchases during your visit. You can start using those gift cards right now to cover the big-ticket items before you even get to the magic or save them for food, merchandise, and those fun extras once you’re here.

    If you plan to use them while on-site, I suggest storing the gift card account numbers and their EAN (Extended Account Numbers) in a notes app on your phone. This way, you can easily copy and paste the details for quick payments when using Mobile Order through the My Disney Experience app. It’ll save you time and keep everything running smoothly when grabbing those snacks or meals for the family.

    Thank you again for stopping by planDisney, Melinda! If you have any other questions as you prepare for your trip, whether it’s about dining reservations, Lightning Lane selections, or more money-saving tips, feel free to reach out. I’m here to help make your vacation planning as seamless as possible!

    See you real soon,
