Hello Marissa!
We are happy to have you onboard here at planDisney! I love the way you are strategizing on how to pay for your cruise. That's a brilliant idea to get that element out of the way so then you can focus all your energy on having fun with Captain Mickey and his crew!
One way you will maximize your Disney dollars is by using your
Disney® Visa® Credit Card. Here’s the best news: you can redeem your Disney reward dollars towards
all Disney Cruise Line purchases charged to your stateroom account, including Port Adventures! The other option is that you will receive
special perks when using your Disney® Visa® as your form of payment on the cruise, like savings on digital photo packages, merchandise, onboard spa treatments, and Castaway Cay packages.
If what you mean by saving the card to use for this cruise is applying the rewards accumulated, then there are some preliminary steps. You will request a Rewards Redemption Card on the Disney Rewards website. (Minimum amount required to redeem is at least 20 Disney Rewards Dollars.) The reward dollars earned will either be loaded on a new redemption card or a prior one if you’ve already received a redemption card. Once you receive the dollars on your redemption card,
contact Disney Cruise Line or your travel agent to apply the balance of your redemption card to your stateroom account. There’s a great
Disney Rewards video explaining how to request the Rewards Redemption Card prior to your sailing.
As you DREAM about setting sail, read about
all the MAGIC that’s included on a Disney cruise to pass the time. Before we know it, that FANTASY will become a reality. If you have more cruise questions, don’t just WONDER...send them our way!
Bon Voyage!
