    Hi! Can Disney gift cards be used to purchase lightning lanes or premier lightning pass? Also are there any limits to paying for a Disney vacation with gift cards? I have several from family members (yay!) and want to use for to pay down the vacation cost

    Hi, Jennifer! Welcome to planDisney.

    What a great gift! Disney Gift Cards are one of the best surprises to receive. Whether it’s for a birthday, a holiday, or just because, these cards are incredibly versatile and can be used all over Walt Disney World Resort. From snacks at your favorite food booths to souvenirs that remind you of your trip, Disney Gift Cards make planning and budgeting for a vacation even more fun.

    Here's the good news: You can use Disney Gift Cards to purchase Lightning Lane Multi, Single, or Premier Passes. When you go to make those purchases in the My Disney Experience app, just enter the gift card details at checkout like you would a credit card. There's an option to choose to pay with a Disney Gift Card. It’s a great way to use those magical dollars and skip the standby lines for some of your must-do attractions.

    Also, there’s no limit to how much of your trip you can cover with Disney Gift Cards! You can use them toward Disney Resort hotel stays, theme park tickets, dining, and more. If you’ve got several cards (which is awesome!), I recommend visiting DisneyGiftCard.com. There, you can combine balances—up to $1,000 per card—to make things easier to manage when it’s time to pay. Just be sure your cards are the regular Disney Gift Cards and not the Disney+ subscription kind—those can’t be used in the parks.

    Jennifer, I hope you have a brilliant time putting those gift cards to good use. Happy planning!
