Hello Sarah,
Thanks for stopping by
planDisney with your question. It looks like you'll be heading to
Walt Disney World just in time to experience the delicious flavors of the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. The weather should still be warm enough to take a dip in your resort hotel pool, but not super hot like can be in the summer months.
Now that you've combined your
Disney Gift Cards, you should be able to use them to make payments to your vacation. You probably know that you can only combine up to $1000 right now on any one gift card. That's okay, but that means if you make payments online, you'll need to make a few transactions to pay for your entire vacation. Alternatively, you could call (407) 939-1936 and speak to a Cast Member who will be able to process multiple cards.
When you go to make a payment online, sign on to your
My Disney Experience account. Select Resort Hotel from My Plans. This will show you your reservation details, including your balance. Click on the Make Payment link and follow the instructions to add your gift card details. I know this sounds silly, but make sure you are using the card that you used to combine all of your other balances. I only say that because I know that whenever I'm combining cards, I have to label the main card that I'm using.
I also like to purchase separate physical cards to keep track of other spending during my trip. I load one for dining and another for souvenirs. That way I can essentially have my whole vacation paid for before I even hop on a plane.
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!
Diane
