Hiya Brenda! and welcome to the most magical place on the internet to answer your specific Disney planning vacation questions, planDisney. I am so glad you stopped by because collecting and using Disney Gift Cards to pay for Disney vacations is a specialty for us panelists. It is a way to save money and control our spending which, to be honest, for some years, like Jack-Jack Parr from The Incredibles, has been out of control.
When paying for your Disney Resorts Hotel Package with Disney Gift Cards first transfer funds from one card to another so you have the maximum of $1000 on the least number of cards. You can do that through the Disney Gift Card website.
Once you have done that then you have three options.
By Phone
Call (407-939-4357) and speak with a Cast Member to pay off your balance. If you booked with a third-party travel agent then you will need to give them the gift card numbers to settle your balance.
