Hi Siobhan! Welcome back to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear that you're planning an amazing
Walt Disney World holiday for next year. Before you know it, you'll be strolling down Main Street, U.S.A., heading toward Cinderella Castle, ready to create lasting family memories.
Purchasing Disney Gift Cards ahead of your stay is the perfect way to budget for your trip. It allows you to dedicate funds for your stay that can be used while you are onsite. Being that you reside in Great Britain, you may not be able to access the
Disney Gift Card website to purchase these cards ahead of time. If you are able to, then you can purchase a Disney Gift Card eGift directly on the website and have it sent to your email address. These cards are easy to use in the parks and can be added to your digital wallet on your mobile device for easy access throughout your stay.
If you're unable to access the site at this time, you should be able to once you arrive in the United States for your trip. Otherwise, Disney Gift Cards are sold throughout the theme parks and Disney Resorts hotels. You can stop by any of the merchandise locations and make your purchase on day one of your trip. Some Guests prefer to have a physical card instead of a digital copy, but this comes down to personal preference.
By the time of your arrival in the summer of 2026, there should be plenty of new experiences to enjoy.
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is a new nighttime parade coming to the Magic Kingdom that is slated to debut this summer. It's been a while since Walt Disney World has held a parade under the night sky, so I'm excited to experience this once it opens up!
Siobhan, I hope you have a magical time planning for your holiday!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
