Hi there, Jennifer!
Welcome, and thank you for stopping by
planDisney with your question about the
Disneyland Resort. Hooray…your trip to The Happiest Place on Earth is just around the pixie-dusted corner!
Once you arrive at the resort, a
Disney Gift Card can be used to buy almost everything Disney-related, like food, beverages, and merchandise at the theme parks and the
Disneyland Resort Hotels! You can also use it to pay at
Downtown Disney District locations that are owned by Disney, such as World of Disney.
While you cannot save a Disney Gift Card as a method of payment in the
Disneyland mobile app the same way a credit or debit card can be stored, you can still use one when making purchases using
Merchandise Mobile Checkout or placing
mobile food and beverage orders. When you get to the payment screen while placing your order, click on "Use a Different Payment Method” and follow the on-screen prompts to pay with a gift card. If you don’t want to carry the physical gift cards with you, you could always keep the card information stored in a note on your smartphone to copy and paste when needed. There's also an option in the app to scan the barcode of your gift card instead of typing the numbers manually for a more convenient transaction!
If you have multiple Disney Gift Cards to use, you can combine them onto just one card in advance online via
disneygiftcard.com so you don’t have to juggle multiple cards when traveling. Creating an account and registering your gift cards online is also a smart way to protect your money in case a physical card is ever lost or misplaced because you’ll be able to transfer the funds to a different card that is in your possession.
I hope this answers your question, Jennifer, and that your vacation is a dream come true! Please don’t hesitate to
write back with any other last-minute questions you may have.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
