Hi Meghan, welcome to planDisney!
Your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort promises to be filled with magic moments. I've heard amazing things about
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, which officially opens on May 27 in EPCOT. The
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival will also be happening during your visit. The global marketplaces are my favorite place to spend my Disney gift cards.
As a teacher, my yearly bonus came this past week (Teacher Appreciation Week) in the form of gift cards. I have a coin purse dedicated to said gift cards. Many of these are Disney gift cards and I'm happy to manage as many as my coin purse can handle! Since Disney gift cards cannot currently be saved as a form of payment in the
My Disney Experience mobile app, my plan is to consolidate the gift cards before my next visit to Walt Disney World.
To combine multiple Disney gift cards into one, start by logging into the
Disney Gift Card website. Next, click the "My Cards" tab and "Add a Card." To add a card, you'll need the account number and security code. You can manage up to six cards with a balance. You can establish one as your "primary card" and add other gift card amounts to it, up to $1000.00. To merge the balance into one card, the directions will let you choose the card to which you wish to transfer the other cards. Select "Add funds from Another Card" and follow the instructions.
To use your gift card as payment in the My Disney Experience mobile app, I suggest saving the number of your primary gift card as a note in your phone so you can copy and paste it as opposed to entering all of the numbers for each transaction. When paying for a
mobile food and beverage order, for example, click "Use a Different Payment Method," then "Add a Card" under Payment Methods. Select Disney Gift Card or Disney Dining Card and copy and paste the 16-Digit Card Number from your saved note. With certain gift cards, you can even scan the barcode!
However you choose to spend your time and gift card balance at Walt Disney World, Meghan, may you receive magical dividends in return.
Plan magic; planDisney.
