Hey Howdy Hey, Jennifer!
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your question. Jennifer, I love having Disney Gift Cards to use at Walt Disney World. It's like a whole pocket full of pixie dust just waiting to shower magic over my next Disney vacation.
While you can only save credit and debit cards in your
My Disney Experience app as ongoing payment methods, you can still use your Disney Gift Cards for purchases made in the app. This would be for things such as
Mobile Ordering and
Merchandise Mobile Checkout. Once you've completed your order and arrived at the Order Summary/check out page, scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap "Use a Different Payment Method." Then, under Payment Methods, tap "Add a Card," select "Disney Gift Card," and then enter your 16-Digit Card Number, or you can scan the bar code speeding up the process like Lightning McQueen. Kachow!
The only snake in the boot is that you do have to enter your Gift Card Number or scan for every purchase, so, just be sure to keep your Gift Card handy throughout the day. I like to keep it in a pocket of my Disney day bag as it makes it quick to access. After all, when my little Jack Jacks need their num nums, time is of the essence!
I hope this helps you, Jennifer! If you have any further Disney vacation planning questions, stop back here to see us and we will be so happy to help you.
See ya real soon!
