Jambo, Emily, and welcome to planDisney where Hakuna Matata is our motto and we love helping guests have no worries for the rest of their days!
Emily, as a guest who uses
Disney Gift Cards to pay for everything from tickets to sweatshirts, and dining to resort stays, I'm happy to chat with you. The quick answer to your question is yes; you are able to use a Disney Gift Card at
Jiko- The Cooking Place.
Typically before visiting Walt Disney World, I will combine all of the gift cards I have purchased leading up to our trip (
they can be combined up to $1,000 per card) to decrease the number of cards we carry. When you register the cards online you can also easily move money around if (worst-case scenario) a card is lost. Emily, my other tip when using Disney Gift Cards for things like
Mobile Food and Beverage Orders is to save the number of the gift card in the notes section of your smartphone so that you can easily copy the number into the payment screen of your My Disney Experience Mobile App when needed.
Emily, I hope this helps as you are thinking about your evening at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. If you haven't been to this resort before, make sure to set aside some time to visit the animal overlooks before or after dinner and marvel at the animals who call this resort home.
Wishing you a delicious visit!
Lauren
