Welcome to planDisney, Jim!
I’m smiling from ear to ear hearing that you will be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. You know what’s even more exciting? Visiting with a Disney Gift Card! My family uses Disney gift cards just about every time we visit. If I don’t have a digital one on my phone, my mouseketeers usually have a physical one gifted to them by their grandparents.
Jim, don’t worry! Your electronic gift card will work the same as a physical gift card does. You’ll just want to let the Cast Member know that you will be using a digital gift card before you pay so they can open up their scanner and select that payment option on their end.
While there isn’t an exact list of all the
locations that accept Disney Gift Cards, you’ll be able to use most locations across the Walt Disney World Resort. When in doubt, just ask! I’ve used our Disney Gift Cards at
Boma,
Topolino’s Terrace, food booths during different EPCOT
festivals, and of course while
shopping for new Mickey gear.
If you received your gift card via email, you can keep that email accessible so that Cast Members can scan it to pay straight from your phone. I also recommend seeing if you are able to add the gift card to your mobile wallet. That’s where I store mine during our trips. I’ve also
linked my gift card to the website so that I can continue to reload the one on my mobile wallet visit after visit!
Enjoy your trip, shopping, and dining, Jim! If there’s anything else that comes to mind, you know where to
find us.
