Hey Howdy Hey Dana and welcome to planDisney!
There are some great deals out there to get cash back or points when purchasing Disney gift cards and is a great way to save a little bit more when thinking about a trip to Walt Disney World Resort. I love your idea! Disney does allow you to pay towards the balance of your vacation before your final payment is due 30 days from your date of arrival and you are allowed to use Disney Gift Cards for this as well! Let's walk through the steps of how to get this done.
First off, you will log onto your
My Disney Experience account. Then follow these steps:
- Go to the "My Plans, Reservations and Tickets" section
- look to the far right for an option to "Make Payment"
- scroll down to put in the payment amount you would like to make
- scroll towards the bottom, right above step 5 you should see "Pay with a Disney Gift Card"
- Click on that and follow the prompts to make your payment!
Just that easy to start paying down your balance! Since you will be in Walt Disney World towards the end of June, you will still have time to head over to EPCOT for my favorite festival of them all, the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! This celebration of a new growing season and warmer weather has spectacular flower and garden displays, fun topiaries of Disney characters through the parks and so many great seasonal food offerings, it is a festival grown for the entire family!
I hope you enjoy these last few weeks of planning for your upcoming trip. Remember 60 days for Disney Resorts Collection hotel Guests to start making advanced dining reservations! Let us know if you have any further questions.
Happy Planning,
Nick
