Hi Barbara and welcome to planDisney!
You are speaking my language with talk of
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop! My husband swears that Ghiradelli's chocolate ice cream is the best ever, so we like to stop for a cold sweet treat when we are visiting
Disney Springs. My favorite flavor is black cherry vanilla. It's delicious!
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop does indeed accept
Disney Gift Cards for payment. In fact, most of the restaurants and stores in Disney Springs do, so it's always good to ask before you make any purchases. We are often using our Disney Gift Cards to pay for our Walt Disney World vacations as my friends and family know it's the best thing to gift me since we always have a visit coming up. If you are staying at a
Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you can charge all of your purchases to your Resort room account and then pay off your balance with a Disney Gift Card. We find that is the easiest way to use them when we are on vacation.
If you have multiple gift cards, you can easily merge them on the Disney Gift Card website, up to $1000 on any one gift card, so you aren't carrying around multiple cards with you. Gift cards can also be used for
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering on the
My Disney Experience Mobile App as well as
Merchandise Mobile Checkout. Both of these services save time by making your purchases on the mobile app without having to stand in line.
Please
stop back by and visit if you have any additional vacation planning questions.
Have a magical day!
Leslie
