    is there a maximum amount you can use for disney gift cards to pay for your vacation package? example could i use $1000 today and another $1000 in 30 days etc until balance is paid in full?

    Hey there, Kevin! I am so glad to welcome you to planDisney. 

    Disney Gift Cards are one of my favorite planning tricks for a Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Picking up gift cards throughout the year helps me spread the cost over an extended period. I also pay attention to deals you may find at retail stores during the holiday season. Last year, one offered a $200 gift card for $180. That savings is several Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars! Hot dog! Hot dog! Hot diggity dog!

    The simple answer to your question is "yes," you can use Disney Gift Cards to pay for your vacation, and "no," there is no limit to the amount of gift card funds you can apply to your trip. As you know, you can have up to $1,000 on a single gift card. I recommend registering your cards on the Disney Gift Card site. And even if they are emptied, I would save the physical card or keep it registered just in case anything interrupts your plans. Walt Disney World has a flexible cancellation policy; if you have to cancel, any amounts refunded to you will go to the original form of payment. 

    I hope you have a wonderful trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth, Kevin. If you have any other questions as you plan your vacation, know you have a friend in planDisney.

    Reach for the Sky!
