Hello, Jamie! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thanks for your question!
I am delighted to hear that you and your family will soon be experiencing all the fun and magic of the Happiest Place on Earth! You'll be glad to know that you can most certainly use Disney Gift Cards almost everywhere at the Disneyland Resort. This includes purchasing food, drinks, and merchandise at both theme parks, the Disneyland Resort Hotels, and at select locations in the
Downtown Disney District. Restaurants and stores not owned by Disney in the Downtown Disney District do not accept Disney Gift Cards, but you can use them at World of Disney, Disney Home, Marceline's Confectionary, The Disney Dress Shop, and the WonderGround Gallery. You can also use Disney Gift Cards to purchase theme park tickets and to pay for accommodations at the Disneyland Resort Hotels. They are quite versatile!
If you have multiple gift cards, you can manage your cards and combine your balances on
www.DisneyGiftCard.com. Registering your cards online also provides you with a backup in case one of your physical cards is lost or stolen as you can quickly and easily transfer your balance to another card online.
I hope this helps. Have a fabulous time at the Disneyland Resort!
