    How to pay for planned experience ?

    Hi there, Stacey, and welcome to planDisney!

    How exciting that you're headed to The Most Magical Place on Earth during the most wonderful time of the year. From impossibly tall trees aglow in lights to theme parks adorned garland and tinsel, there's nothing quite like Walt Disney World Resort during the holiday season!

    You're clearly my kind of Mouseketeer, Stacey, because not only will you be spending time at Walt Disney World Resort this Christmas, it sounds like you're planning to add a bit of extra holiday cheer to your visit by enjoying a special event, dining experience, or one of Walt Disney World Resort's Enchanting Extras. When it comes to payment methods, you'll have several options depending upon the type of experience you've booked. If the experience requires pre-payment or a payment method to secure your booking, you'll be able to use any of the payment methods saved in your MyDisney Wallet or enter an alternate credit or debit card. If you'd like to pay by Disney Gift Card, unfortunately, these cannot be redeemed for all experiences online at this time, but you can reach out to a Cast Member by phone to book and pay for select experiences using a Disney Gift Card.

    Now, if you're able to pay for your experience in person, you'll have a few more options. Cash is readily accepted at most locations aside from a few stand-alone kiosks, vendors, and carts. You can also pay for items using cards such as debit, credit, and Disney Gift Cards or mobile payment options. Personally, I suggest making your go-to payment method the default in your MyDisney Wallet as your stored payment methods can be used to make purchases through the Walt Disney World website and My Disney Experience app.

    Spending money at Walt Disney World Resort is one of my favorite hobbies, Stacey, so I hope what I have shared is helpful. If you need further clarification or I misunderstood your question, don't hesitate to reach back out to me directly so that I can be of further assistance. You've got a friend in me!

    Thinking Happy Thoughts,
    Lizzie
