Hi there, Cathy! Thanks for visiting planDisney and sharing your question with us!
Walt Disney World adventure is quickly approaching! Woo hoo! You’ll be enjoying the 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, shows, restaurants, shopping, and all of the magic of the Vacation Kingdom before you know it. What will you do first?
I’m happy to report that Disney gift cards are widely accepted across Walt Disney World. Can you use a Disney gift card to buy a t-shirt at the Emporium at the Magic Kingdom? Yes! Can you use a Disney gift card to purchase lunch at a resort hotel? Yep! What about a Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar from a snack kiosk? You betcha! Some third-party-owned stores or restaurants at Disney Springs may not accept Disney Gift Cards, so I always recommend double-checking before you purchase, but that shouldn’t be an issue for most locations on property.
You’ve picked an amazing time to visit Walt Disney World.
Cool Kid Summer is in full swing, and there is so much to see and do all across the entire resort. There are special limited-time activities at each theme park, special merchandise and treats, and two new shows at Hollywood Studios,
Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After and The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure. Also, by the time you arrive,
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, the new nighttime parade at the Magic Kingdom, and the reimagined
Test Track at EPCOT will have debuted!
Cathy, I hope this information helps and that you are able to put your Disney Gift Card to good use. If you have any other questions or need recommendations on how to spend that gift card, don’t hesitate to come right back to planDisney. We’re always happy to help!
Magical travels!
Matt
