Hi there, Brian!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks for writing to us with your question! I love Disney Gift Cards and all the varieties that are available. When I purchase them on
shopdisney.com for friends, part of the fun is personalizing them to their particular tastes.
To answer your question, you are totally able to use a Disney Gift Card to access the phenomenal cosmic power of
Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes! After scanning your ticket and entering the Park, use the
Disneyland Mobile App to make your purchase and, at the Payment step, select "Use Different Payment Method," select Disney Gift Card and enter the card number (here's a tip: copy the Gift Card number onto a Notepad or other text document so all you need to do is paste it into the field whenever it is needed). The process is similar when purchasing both Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes. If you have multiple Gift Cards, they may be consolidated into one card at
DisneyGiftCard.com to make things easier for you.
I just returned from a trip to the Disneyland Resort with my kids and I gave them each a Disney Gift Card as their spending money. They loved the financial autonomy it provided for them! I hope that you'll be able to visit the Happiest Place on Earth at some point this year! We've got the
Disney100 Celebration going on and there's so much to see and do.
Brian, I hope you found this useful and that you are able to navigate the App without any issues. Please feel free to visit us again anytime if you have any further questions!
