Hi there, Jaime. Welcome to planDisney. Thanks for stopping by with your questions for us. I see you’ll be heading to the Happiest Place on Earth at the end of the month. I bet you’re getting excited for your trip!
How lucky to have
Disney Gift Cards to spend during your upcoming visit. You’re correct, Jaime, that Disney Gift Cards can be used towards merchandise as well as food and beverage at participating Disney owned-and-operated locations throughout
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park. Simply present your Disney Gift Card when paying at the shops for your souvenir and other merchandise. As for dining, Disney Gift Cards can be used at table service or quick service restaurants, as well as at snack carts too. When you’re using the
Disneyland mobile app to place mobile orders for food and beverages, you can input your Disney Gift Card information and use as a form of payment. You can also use the gift card at Mobile Checkout on the Disneyland mobile app to pay for merchandise at participating retail locations. As you can see, there are lots of places where you can use your Disney Gift Cards!
Since you’ll be visiting while the weather is warm, it’s a great idea to stay cool with a cold treat. There are several places in Disney California Adventure Park that is great for your group to meet up while enjoying a cold treat. My first recommendation is
Ghirardelli® Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop in San Fransokyo Square. There are plenty of seating nearby and you can enjoy a sundae, banana split, or a shake.
Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats is another place I’d recommend for some yummy soft serves. You can choose between lemon, mango, or raspberry flavored soft serves. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of seating available in this area for your group to relax in but these treats are delectable.
Clarabelle's Hand-Scooped Ice Cream is another place I recommend for a frozen treat to cool you down on a hot day. There are plenty of tables and chairs in this indoor location to enjoy some ice cream or sundaes. And by the way, Jaime, you can use your Disney Gift Cards at these recommended locations as well!
I hope you’ll have a magical time at the Disneyland Resort soon. Please feel free to stop by
planDisney again if you have more questions for us.
Sending you pixie dust,
Kiki
