Welcome back to planDisney, Kathleen!
Thank you for visiting us again with another great question! It is a pleasure to assist you as you plan a visit to Mickey and his pals!
I am happy to share that you are welcome to use
Disney Gift Cards and
Disney eGift Cards to pay for meals purchased via
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering! Open the
My Disney Experience app on your mobile device and tap the plus sign at the bottom of the screen. Select
Order Food, choose an arrival window at one of the participating locations, and build your order. After selecting items from the menu, tap
View My Order and if you are ready to place it tap
Review Order Summary. Scroll down to confirm your order and select
Continue to Checkout to choose a payment method. Tap the plus sign next to
Add a Card, select
Disney Gift Card, enter the 16-digit card number, tap
Save and finalize your purchase. You will have to provide a card number each time you place an order, as the app will not save that information. Please note that only one Disney Gift Card can be applied per order, but it can be used in combination with another credit or debit card to complete your purchase.
Unfortunately, you will not be able to link a Disney Gift Card or a credit or debit card to My Disney Experience to buy merchandise, but if you have a credit card linked to a digital wallet, you will be able to use your smartphone or smartwatch to pay for purchases – this is the closest you can get to using a MagicBand to pay for food and merchandise!
I hope this information helps you while planning, Kathleen! Come back to visit us real soon here at planDisney if you have additional questions.
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
