Greetings Tim!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your great question. I was so excited to discover that Apply Pay was available at the Disneyland Resort. It is something I use daily when I'm at home and was delighted to continue doing so on vacation. Whether I use my smartphone or my watch, it really helps make purchases extremely convenient, especially when my hands are full with my toddler. I am happy to inform you that Apple Pay is available at all merchandise locations, Quick Service restaurants, and even outdoor vending carts. Keep in mind that you will not be able to use Apple Pay at Table Service restaurants, though.
Since you are already savvy with your smartphone, make sure you also download the
Disneyland app before you arrive. With this app you can not only see park maps, attraction wait times, Character meeting locations, and make dining reservations, but you can even make digital FASTPASS selections with the
Disney MaxPass feature. This has been such an amazing addition to our days at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park as we save time and footsteps making our FASTPASS selections right on our phone and can spend more time making memories.
I hope this helps, and have a Fantasmic day!
