Hi Baylee and welcome to
planDisney! Thanks so much for sending me your planning question about your next visit to the Walt Disney World Resort.
I personally use my
Disney Gift Cards during my visits all the time to pay for theme park tickets, Disney Resort Collection hotel stays, at
restaurants throughout the resort and for souvenirs. My family really likes the flexibility of being able to use
MagicBands to make purchases throughout the parks, especially to buy snacks like pretzels and popcorn!
Since we are not able to add a gift card to our MyDisney accounts to cover purchases, I just visit the front desk of my Disney Resort Collection hotel to pay for my balance with a gift card in person. Sometimes I visit the front desk at the beginning of my vacation to let the Cast Member know I will be back to pay for my balance with a gift card and other times, I head to the desk the last night of my vacation and take care of those charges with my gift card.
If you have more than one gift card, you can also combine the amounts on your Disney Gift Cards to make bigger purchases. I suggest
visiting the official Disney Gift Card website to consolidate your cards.
Once you create an account, you can input gift card information for up to six cards. I add the dollar amounts to just one of the gift cards on the site, then I use that card to make all of my purchases.
Baylee, I hope this information is helpful to you as you get ready for your upcoming visit. Please feel free to come back to see us if you have any more questions. It's always
our pleasure to help you with your plans!
