Hi Lisa! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy! You're only one day away from arriving! I hope you are excited about all the magical experiences that await. Let's jump right into your question and set you up for the ultimate
Walt Disney World vacation!
As a proud
Disney Visa Cardholder myself, I always make sure to bring it along to all of our Walt Disney World adventures. With the fantastic discounts at dining and merchandise locations across the theme parks and Disney Resorts hotels, you'll have plenty of opportunities to use your card.
I typically link my Disney Visa Card to my account as the card on file for purchases made with my MagicBand. This will help you build up Disney Reward Dollars for future trips. However, if you wish to receive the discounts available, I would go ahead and use the card directly for these purchases. I know that for dining locations I've used the card at, the Cast Member will need to physically see the card to apply the discount. They will typically ask at the end of the meal if you have any discounts you want to use, such as an
Annual Passholder or Disney Vacation Club Member discount. There may be times they forget to mention the Disney Visa Card discount, so make sure to always ask if it is available. You definitely do not want to miss out on it!
With your arrival only a day away, I'm sure you are excited to finally begin your stay. The
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is underway, and it is my favorite time of year to explore EPCOT and the World Showcase. Between the dazzling topiaries and creative flower displays, the sheer beauty of the park is on full display.
Lisa, I hope you have an amazing trip to the Walt Disney World Resort!
See ya real soon!
