Hello, Marissa and welcome to
planDisney!
I am so happy to hear you are planning a visit to
Walt Disney World Resort and will be using the
Disney Gift Card method of payment! The great news is that Disney Gift Cards are widely used throughout Walt Disney World Resort to pay for Theme Park tickets, Disney Resort hotel stays, Disney dining and much more. I just purchased my Theme Park tickets and was able to use my Disney Gift Card through the official Walt Disney World Resort website and just loved having the option to use my Disney Gift Card at check-out by entering the ID number! If paying for things during your visit, it might be easier to add the Disney Gift Cards to your
Payment Method in the
My Disney Experience app by accessing
My Profile on the
Welcome page, or, you can use the actual gift card if you wish.
Marissa, you can purchase your Disney Gift Cards in Canada at various retailers, which will be in Canadian funds and you can still use them to pay for things during your Walt Disney World Resort visit, just read the
Issuance and Redemption of Disney Gift Cards purchased in Canadian funds to learn about currency conversions during your visit.
I think ordering the Disney Gift Card eGift method is easy too. Once I ordered my Disney Gift Card in U.S. funds, I received an email confirmation with my Disney Gift Card eGift barcode and an actual link that I tapped to add the gift card to my digital wallet using my mobile device – all I have to do is present it for scanning when I’m ready to pay.
Tips:
Did you know that you can create a Disney MagicMobile pass via the
My Disney Experience app with
Disney MagicMobile Service for your Theme Park admission? I was able to access my Theme Park admission from my digital wallet on my mobile device and use it to enter the Theme Parks and I was able to connect to
Disney PhotoPass Service too!
Take a closer look at the My Disney Experience app where you’ll discover many other features once you store your Payment Method (up to six payment methods), such as the
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering and adding the
Disney Genie+ service during your stay.
Marissa, I hope this information is helpful, it was my pleasure assisting a fellow Canadian Disney fan and I look forward to hopefully being of any further assistance again soon, thank you so much!
