Hi Leah! Welcome to planDisney! Your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth will be here before you know it, and I’m so excited to help you prepare. Let’s talk about one of my favorite topics: how to make the most of your
Disney Gift Cards while still enjoying every delicious bite and magical moment!
Disney Gift Cards are widely accepted at most merchandise and dining locations throughout the
Disneyland Resort, including the theme parks, the Disneyland Resort Hotels, and many snack carts. You can use them to grab a Dole Whip near the Enchanted Tiki Room, indulge in a Mickey-shaped treat on Main Street, or enjoy a sit-down meal at places like Carnation Café or GCH Craftsman Grill. Just keep in mind that many of the dining spots in the
Downtown Disney District are operated by third parties and may not accept Disney Gift Cards. It’s always a good idea to ask a Cast Member before placing your order.
For merchandise, Disney Gift Cards are also accepted at nearly all Disney-owned locations across the resort, including several incredible shops in Downtown Disney. You can use your card at places like Avengers Vault, The D-Lish Shop, The Disney Dress Shop, Disney Home, Disney's Pin Traders, Disney Wonderful World of Sweets, Star Wars Trading Post, WonderGround Gallery, and (of course!) the iconic World of Disney. However, some carts and third-party retailers may not accept gift cards, so it's best to check before purchasing.
Another great tip, Leah: if you're staying at one of the
Disneyland Resort Hotels, you can link a credit card to your hotel room using the
Disneyland app. It’s super simple. Just download the app and add your card during online check-in or in person at the Front Desk. Once it’s set up, you’ll be able to charge dining and shopping purchases right to your room.
I hope this information helps you make the most of your time at the Disneyland Resort! If you have any more questions, please come back and visit us at planDisney. We’d love to help with the rest of your planning!
Have a treat for me!
