Welcome to planDisney, Lauren!
I'm so glad to hear you have Disney Rewards Dollars from
Disney Visa to spend for your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! I use mine for splurging a little during my Disney vacations. Sometimes my Disney Reward Dollars are my snack and souvenir budget, other times I use them for signature dining, and sometimes I have enough to add a few extra days to my trip!
Disney Rewards Redemption Cards can be ordered online or by phone in advance to be mailed to your home. If picking up your card at a
Guest Relations location instead, you will not need to order in advance. Guest Relations will have unassigned cards that will be in an envelope with instructions on how to activate the card and load it with your Disney Rewards Dollars. I needed to pick up a card recently myself. I stopped by the Welcome Center at Disney Springs. I didn't even need to go inside -- the Cast Member at the podium outside the door had a stack of cards on a shelf under the podium and simply handed one to me. The process of activating and loading the card only took a few moments over the phone -- you'll find the toll-free number printed on the back of the card and also on the paperwork included in the envelope. Cards can also be reloaded online at
disneyrewards.com.
You'll be able to use your Disney Rewards Redemption Card pretty much everywhere at Walt Disney World Resort. I have included this
list of locations found at disneyrewards.com. You can even use your Disney Rewards Dollars for
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering. I have a great tip for you: I keep the numbers of my Disney Rewards Redemption Card as a note on my phone. That way I can just copy/paste the numbers rather than typing them in each time I place an order.
Lauren, I am wishing you a wonderful vacation! Please let us know if you have any additional questions. We are always happy to help.
