Hi Chris,
I just recently did the same thing and there was something so magical about getting to use my reward points for Disney World tickets. The process is super easy!
You will need to purchase your theme park tickets directly from Walt Disney World to use Disney Rewards Dollars for your payment method. The first and most important thing is to figure out which
Disney Annual Pass works best for your vacation style and add that to your shopping cart for purchase. You will need to check out the
Admission Calendar to make sure that the pass you choose does not have block-out dates when you plan to visit.
During checkout, you will attach the ticket to either yourself or a member of your family and friends in your
My Disney Experience account. You will then add a payment method for your purchase. During this step, you will check the box next to "Use a Disney Rewards Redemption Card" and enter your card number and security code. Once you apply the rewards card, it will be processed just like any other online payment method.
Since you will be joining the Disney Annual Passholder family, don't forget to check out all of the benefits associated with being a Disney Passholder.
My favorite benefit is the discounts! There is nothing better than getting 20% off of all your souvenirs!
Happy Planning,
Jenna
