Hi, Holly!
That sounds like a great plan! If this will be your first visit to the Disneyland Resort, I think you’ll fall in love with the history and charm of Walt Disney’s original theme park here on the West Coast. After all, it’s “The Happiest Place on Earth!”
Unfortunately, none of the Downtown Disney District restaurants currently accept the Disney Gift Card. However, it is valid at World of Disney, Marceline’s Confectionery, Studio Disney 365, D Street, Disney Vault 28, WonderGround Gallery, and Disney’s Pin Traders.
Throughout Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, the Disney Gift Card can be used at almost all merchandise or food and beverage locations with the exception of the fruit carts and outdoor vending locations. It can also be used at any Disneyland Resort Hotel merchandise or restaurant location, as payment toward your hotel room stay, and for purchases charged to your resort account.
I hope this helps, Holly, and that you have a perfectly pixie-dusted Disneyland Resort vacation! Please write back with any other questions you may have as you continue to plan.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
