Hi Vicky!
Welcome to planDisney.
It's always a pleasure to assist my fellow guests from the UK, and I'm very happy to see that you secured this special offer for holidays to be taken this year.
The value of your Disney Dining and Merchandise Credit is calculated per night of stay, depending on where you are staying, and is offered for each room reservation (not per guest). You will receive the total amount on the day you arrive at your Disney Resort hotel, and this will be emailed to you after you have checked in. You can then store it on your phone for easy access.
The credit cannot be linked to your Disney Bands, but it's just as easy to use - instead of tapping your Disney Band you just need to show the bar code of your Dining & Merchandise credit at the point of sale.
You can use this Dining & Merchandise Credit however you please! You can use it solely for buying all your "essential" souvenirs, or spend it all on dining, across the whole Resort - at the four theme parks, water parks,
Disney Springs, or the Disney Resort hotels. If you want to spend it all in one go, you can! Or maybe you want to spend a little each day - it's entirely up to you. Any unused credit will expire after your trip - you will be advised about the expiry date when you receive your email. If you wish to use it at any non-Disney locations at Disney Springs, please check that they accept this merchandise credit at the till before you make your purchase.
Please come back and visit us again if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish. We are always happy to help! Also, keep your eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for all the latest updates on events that may be happening during your holiday.
