Hi there, Janet! I am so glad you found us here at planDisney to ask your Walt Disney World question.
I see that you are arriving in just about 2 weeks, so you will be visiting The Most Magical Place on Earth at my favorite time of year! I just love the holiday decorations at the resorts. My favorites are the gorgeous Little Mermaid-themed Gingerbread Carousel at
Disney’s Beach Club Resort, which is a quick walk from EPCOT’s International Gateway or the giant Christmas Tree at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, which is a quick boat ride from Magic Kingdom.
You can absolutely use Disney Gift Cards at most food establishments inside the Walt Disney World theme parks, including popcorn/snack carts, quick-service restaurants, and full-service restaurants. There are some super-cute designs for gift cards on the
website. I love having Disney Gift Cards ready to go for our vacations, so that our food is largely paid for before we even leave home.
I hope you have added
Memory Maker onto your WDW vacation package. By purchasing this at least 3 days before your trip begins, you save $30, and this includes all professional photos taken within the four theme parks, 13 attraction photos, and tons of great “magic” shots. There are so many great new magic shots for the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World. Be sure to always ask the PhotoPass photographer for them.
I am sure your family will have a wonderful holiday! Thank you again for visiting planDisney and trusting us to answer your question.
Happy Traveling,
Tracy
