Hi Jaynee,
Disney Gift Cards are a great way to budget for a magical Disney World vacation. It is even better when you are able to get them at a discount, so you save a few bucks! You can definitely use these Disney Gift Cards to pay for your Disney Resort hotel reservation! How you use your gift card to pay will depend on the type of reservation you have made and if you have already booked your vacation.
If you are in the process of booking your vacation, you can use a Disney Gift Card to pay during the checkout process. As you are checking out, simply choose Disney Gift Card as a payment method. The system will allow you to use one Disney Gift Card during the checkout process. If you have purchased multiple gift cards, you will need to create an online account on the
Disney Gift Card website and combine all of your gift cards into one. This can be done for up to $1000 in Disney Gift Cards. Unfortunately, that is the maximum amount so if you have more gift cards to add to your payment option, you will need to call
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations and they will be able to take multiple payment methods over the phone including multiple gift cards.
For Room-Only reservations, you will be able to make all final payments at the front desk while you are visiting Disney World. Before your last day, go down to the front desk and ask them to apply your Disney Gift Cards to the remaining balance on your stay. If you charge items to your Disney Resort hotel during your stay, you can use the gift cards to pay for those balances as well. This is a great way to combine everything and only have one checkout process! I like doing this because I can see a combined bill for my whole vacation at once to help budget for our next vacation.
If you already have a reservation and want to pay for your vacation package, you can do that on your
My Disney Experience account. Simply log in and navigate to "My Plans." Find the reservation you want to pay for, and to the side, select "Make a Payment." Follow the instructions and choose Disney Gift Card as your payment method.
I hope you have a fabulous trip!
Happy Planning,
Jenna
