Hi Lisa! Thanks for stopping by planDisney!
One of the best gifts to receive is a Disney Gift Card. Whenever my parents ask for gift ideas for my daughters, the answer is always this! Not only can you use them online on the
Disney Store website, but you can utilize them just about anywhere at the Walt Disney World Resort.
I have great news for you, Lisa. You can certainly add your
Disney Gift Card eGift to your Apple Wallet. In fact, the process is very simple. When you receive your eGift in your email, scroll down to the bottom of the message. Just past the barcode, you'll see "Add to Apple Wallet." Tap on the icon and it will automatically direct you to the Wallet app on your phone (as long as the app is already downloaded). You should see the Disney Gift Card in your wallet with the initial amount and barcode. When you plan on using it upon arrival for your stay, all you'll need to do is open the Wallet app, tap on the gift card, and the Cast Member will scan the barcode.
Note: The balance will not be updated in your wallet. You'll still see the initial balance even after you have begun to use it. The easiest way to keep track is by saving your receipts when using the card. The latest balance will be noted on the receipt.
As I mentioned earlier, you can use a Disney Gift Card practically anywhere at Walt Disney World. This includes many dining and merchandise locations at the parks, resorts, and
Disney Springs. I love purchasing a few before arriving for my next vacation, this way I can help budget for the trip. Typically, I'll allot a certain amount that I plan to spend and purchase Disney Gift Cards for this amount. This plan helps me stay on budget while also not having to think about it while I'm enjoying my vacation.
Lisa, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
