Hiya Imelda,
A big Texas welcome back to planDisney! Can you believe you will be at Walt Disney World Resort in two days? I’m so excited (and a little jealous) that you will be visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth so soon.
Disney Gift Cards are my preferred payment method at the House of Mouse! Once registered, if you happened to misplace your physical gift card, you could redeem the lost value onto a new card. You can’t do that with cash! You will be happy to know that, yes, you can use a Disney Gift Card to purchase
Disney Genie+ Service and Individual Lightning Lane purchases. When you go to complete your purchase on the
My Disney Experience mobile app, you will see an option to pay for your purchase using your Disney Gift Card. If you already have a credit card stored within your My Disney Experience account, this will show up as your default payment, so you would need to change the payment method to a Disney Gift Card first before completing your purchase.
One last thing before I let you go, Imelda, unfortunately, you are not able to save the Disney Gift Card numbers in the mobile app, so you will need to input the numbers for each individual purchase. For this reason, let me share a planDisney tip to speed up your checkout. Type your Disney Gift Card number or numbers into the notes section of your mobile device and copy and paste it each time you make a transaction. This will save you so much time!
I hope you have the most magical vacation! Please come back and see us if you need anything else!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
