Welcome to planDisney, John!
I hope you're getting excited about visiting The Most Magical Place on Earth! I'm very glad that you're planning ahead for your payment methods, this will make
Mobile Ordering for food on the My Disney Experience App easier. (Consider Mobile Ordering yourself a Hand Dipped Corn Dog or a Mickey Waffle with Sweet-and-Spicy Maple Chicken from
Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom.)
While you cannot currently save Disney Gift Cards as a method of payment in the
Disney World App, you can use your Gift Cards as a form of payment within the App at checkout. You can do this for anything that you are purchasing within the app (food, Lightning Lanes, etc.) and it is relatively painless. I would love for them to add the saving feature in the future, but for now have to make do with saving our debit/credit cards, and Disney Rewards Redemption Cards (this is the card that allows you to use your Disney Rewards Dollars from your Disney Visa Credit Card).
I hope you have a lovely trip, John, and if you have any additional questions or need some recommendations, please feel free to visit us again at planDisney.
