Hi Michael! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your question!
Oh boy! You must be getting so excited about your upcoming stay in a few short days! I know my daughters always start counting how many “sleeps” they have left when we are a few days out! I'm sure by now you have all of your plans mapped out and ready to go for your cross-country trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth! You'll be arriving just in time to be a part of all the festivities for the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration! When you're making your way around the parks, keep an eye out for the golden statues stationed all around that are part of the
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection. They make for great photo backdrops!
Congratulations on being approved for your Disney Visa Card! Owning one of these gives you a chance to rack up reward points to use on future vacations. I called the credit card company to confirm, but to link this card to your account and use it for purchases while at Walt Disney World, you'll need to receive the physical card in the mail to do so. They stated security reasons for why this is the case. You can however link your card to a digital wallet and be able to use it where ever this type of payment is offered.
If you don't receive your card in time for your visit, make sure to bring it with you the next time you are at
Walt Disney World. You can use this card at select dining and retail locations to receive a discount on your bill. I found it best to let the Cast Member helping you know what form of payment you are using, so they can apply the discount prior to payment.
Michael, I hope you have an amazing time during your upcoming stay! Maybe some Disney magic will come your way and you'll receive your Disney Visa Card just in time for your visit!
See ya real soon!
Greg
