Hi Louise!
Welcome back to planDisney.
It's always a pleasure to assist my fellow guests from the UK, and I'm happy to see that you have been able to secure the special offer for holidays in 2024, and have also purchased a
Disney dining plan! You have everything covered!
Your Dining and Merchandise Credit will be sent to you by email soon after you have checked in to your hotel. This is not a physical card, but you can download it to your phone for easy access. As the name suggests, you will be able to use this for food and shopping across the whole Resort, however you please. So, if you want to spend it all solely on those wonderful souvenirs, you can! You can redeem it at Disney locations at the theme parks, water parks, Disney Resort hotels, and Disney Springs. You just need to show the bar code when you make your purchase.
Your dining plan will cover most of your food, but if you choose additional menu items that are not included with the dining plan, your Dining & Merchandise Credit may be used to pay for those (please check with your server at the time of ordering).
If you have qualified for a Disney Gift Card as part of your special offer for this year's holiday this will be a physical card available for collection from Disney Springs at the World of Disney store when you arrive. You will need to take your promotional Gift Card voucher with you, along with some form of photo ID (your UK driving licence or passport will be fine). Ask any Cast Member where you can collect your Gift Cards - you will be directed to a different desk than the usual check-out locations.
World of Disney has so much on offer to tempt you - clothes, plush toys, Star Wars merchandise, Mickey Ears, homewares. You will be spoiled for choice, and this is definitely somewhere to enjoy spending your Dining & Merchandise Credit!
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish. We will be happy to help you plan your magical holiday to Walt Disney World!
