    Hi I received a merch credit at WDW but I am going on vacation to Disneyland for Christmas can I use the merch credit at the Disneyland resort in California?

    Hello, Oliver,

    Whether a merchandise credit issued at the Walt Disney World Resort is valid for use at the Disneyland Resort depends on the specific type of credit and its terms and conditions. Generally, the most widely accepted credits are generic Disney Gift Cards, excluding single-purpose gift cards such as for Disney+. Disney Gift Cards can be used at nearly all Disney-operated locations at the Disneyland Resort, including the Disneyland Resort Hotels and Disney-operated stores at Downtown Disney District. Some forms of credit that come with more restrictions include the Disney Dining Card and the Disney Parks Merchandise Credit.

    It seems to me that what you are describing is a Disney Parks Merchandise Credit. If that is the case, my understanding is that you may use that credit at most Disney-operated merchandise locations at the Disneyland Resort as well as at the Walt Disney World Resort. It can also be used at merchandise locations at places such as Aulani and other Disney Vacation Club properties. Disney Parks Merchandise Credits may only be used at participating merchandise locations, and may not be applied toward the cost of food and beverages at dining locations.

    Tony's Tip: Some merchandise locations may offer select pre-packaged beverages and candy or other treats that may be purchased as if they are merchandise rather than food and beverage items. Some examples may include Pooh Corner and Bing Bong's Sweet Stuff.

    Wow! A visit to the Disneyland Resort during the Holidays sounds phenomenal. I am confident you will enjoy a most magical experience at the Merriest Place on Earth!

    Have a great time, Oliver!
