Hi Laurie!
I'm so happy to hEAR you have an upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation in October. What an awesome time it will be, as all four Walt Disney World theme parks will be joining in to commemorate the 50th Anniversary during
The World's Most Magical Celebration! Guests will be able to enjoy all kinds of amazing new offerings, including:
Beacons of Magic,
Disney Kite Tails, the
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection, TWO new Nighttime Spectaculars (
Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom Park and
Harmonious at Epcot), and a brand new attraction in the France Pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot -
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure!
When planning and budgeting for a Disney vacation, I love to stock up on Disney Gift Cards before we travel. It's easy to combine the balances of multiple gift cards onto one card, which keeps you from having to keep up with multiple cards and balances. Simply visit
disneygiftcard.com, provide them with the required information needed to register, and you'll be able to save your Disney Gift Card information, as well as transfer balances from one card to another.
I'm happy to tell you that Disney Gift Cards are widely accepted across Walt Disney World Resort, including all four theme parks, water parks, Disney Springs, and Walt Disney World Resort hotels. You can use Disney Gift Cards towards the purchase of theme park admission tickets, merchandise, spa services, dining, and recreation. Guests can use Disney Gift Cards at all Disney-owned and operated locations where credit cards are accepted. The majority of dining locations at
Disney Springs accept Disney Gift Cards as a form of payment. While I cannot provide a list of any third-party vendors at Disney Springs that might possibly not accept Disney Gift Cards as payment, Disneygiftcard.com states, "Should you have any questions regarding acceptance of the Disney Gift Card at a particular location, or if redemption is valid for a particular product or service, please check with the location prior to your transaction."
I hope this helps with your planning and budgeting for your vacation - have a magical day! - Diane W.
