Welcome back to planDisney Michelle! Thank you so much for sending in your question. It’s wonderful to hear that you’re getting ready for your
Walt Disney World visit, there’s nothing like preparing for a little extra magic! Disney Gift Cards are a popular way to budget for a trip, and I’m happy to help you understand exactly where you can use them throughout Walt Disney World.
You can use a
Disney Gift Card almost everywhere at Walt Disney World. Inside the parks, the cards are accepted at nearly all restaurants, snack carts, and merchandise locations. While you can’t use them on rides, you can use them for food, drinks, and shopping throughout Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. The cards are also accepted at most Disney Resort hotel shops and restaurants.
Disney Springs accepts Disney Gift Cards at the majority of its stores and dining locations as well. A few third-party shops may not take them, but most places do.
You can also use a Disney Gift Card to buy theme park tickets. Disney allows gift cards to be used for ticket purchases both online and in person. If you plan to use more than one gift card for your ticket total, you may need to combine the balances beforehand on the official Disney Gift Card website, since online ticket purchases typically allow only one card per transaction. Gift cards can also be applied toward many Disney Resort hotel stays, depending on how you book.
Overall, you can think of Disney Gift Cards as a form of payment that works across nearly the entire Walt Disney World property, including Disney Springs, park tickets, dining, merchandise, and most hotel charges.
Michelle, I hope this helps you feel fully prepared as you plan for your magical Walt Disney World getaway. Thank you for visiting planDisney with your question. Wishing you a vacation filled with convenience, joy, and all the pixie dust your heart can hold!
