Hey there, Heather!
You are a woman after my own heart. I am somewhat of a Disney Gift Card aficionado. I just love having my entire trip paid for before we arrive, so we pretty much use Disney Gift Cards as much as possible.
If you haven't already, you will want to go ahead and combine your Disney Gift Cards on the
Disney Gift Card website. Once your cards are combined, I recommend that you make a note with a sharpie on the physical card, so you know you are using the correct card when you go to pay.
When you have arrived at the Most Magical Place on Earth simply present your gift card to the Cast Member at your table service meal when they bring the bill. If you are taking advantage of
mobile ordering through your
My Disney Experience App, all you need to do is to input your gift card information on the checkout page before you confirm your order.
Heather, to make things a little more simple, and contact-free, I like to use my
MagicBand for all purchases, which are then charged to the credit card that I have on file. Before we check out, I visit the front desk at my Walt Disney World Resort hotel and apply the gift card towards my balance and have my earlier charges reversed.
Enjoy your dining and shopping, Heather and we will see you real soon!
