Hi Stephanie! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy! Your Walt Disney World Resort vacation will be here in a matter of days! I hope you are excited about all the magical experiences that await you.
Applying for a
Disney Visa Card by Chase was the best decision I made a few years ago. Not only was there a great promotional period when I signed up, but I continue to earn Disney Reward Dollars for every purchase I make. Typically, once your application is approved, you'll need to wait about 7-10 business days to receive the physical card. However, you may be able to add your
new credit card to your digital wallet on your mobile device to use for purchases before receiving your physical card. Many merchandise locations at the Walt Disney World Resort accept payments from your digital wallet. Usually, you'll just need to tap your mobile device near the card reader to complete the payment. In fact, many places outside of Walt Disney World also accept this form of payment as well. I would log on to your account to check if this is an option or call the credit card company to find out more information.
While this may be a possibility, I would prepare just in case you do not have it available. If you are able to make purchases online at this time, you can always buy
Disney Gift Cards using your Disney Visa Card. You can use the gift cards for dining and merchandise purchases during your stay. This way you can receive the benefits of using your Disney Visa Card even before you travel.
Stephanie, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney! Have a magical vacation!
See ya real soon!
