Hi Amber! Welcome back to planDisney! Thanks so much for stopping by again to send us another great question!
Hooray! Your vacation at The Happiest Place on Earth is only a few weeks away! It sounds like you have been busy planning and have all of the magical details in place. I'm glad you were able to make an
Advanced Dining Reservation for a
Paint the Night Dining Package! Even though a credit card is required when making the dining reservation, you can use a different payment method like a
Disney Gift Card when paying for the meal. You should arrive to check in at the Plaza Inn restaurant entrance up to 10 minutes before your scheduled reservation. Payment for dining packages is required upon check-in, and at that time you can let the Cast Member know you would like to use a different payment method than the one you used to reserve the dining package. The Cast Member can also give you the details about your reserved viewing area for
Paint the Night Parade.
Be sure to
download the Disneyland Mobile App before you arrive. The app gives you a quick and easy way to view your plans, check attraction wait times, find restrooms, and much more! You will also find a guide to the
70th Anniversary Celebration in the app so you can make sure you don't miss any of the pixie-dusted offerings!
If you have more questions before you arrive, please stop by planDisney again. We're all ears, and we would love to help!
Wishing you magic,
Lisa
