Hi there, Gina, and welcome to planDisney!
Ask all of the questions that you need to in order for you to have a practically perfect vacation. planDisney panelists are Disney Destinations super fans, so we jump on the chance to share our experiences with fellow Guests like you, Gina.
Disney Gift Cards are my favorite method of payment at Walt Disney World Resort—and beyond! Even in their digital form, you may use them as you wish. Printing the email or the barcode is one option, of course. However, you can also take a screenshot of the barcode and save it to your device’s favorites album (or make it your phone’s lock screen). This will make it easy for you to scan it while at booths, registers, and other locations.
You can also add the electronic Disney Gift Card to your phone’s digital wallet. At the bottom of your card’s email, there’s a link that states “Add to Apple Wallet” or "Save to Phone" (Google Pay). What I like to do is take a physical Disney Gift Card that I already have and transfer the funds from the electronic Disney Gift Card to it. You can do this by managing your cards on the
Disney Gift Card website. As for your refillable mug, which always comes in handy during visits, you can use it at not only your hotel, but at any Disney Resorts Collection hotel that you find yourself visiting during your vacation. You can fill it with soda (I’m not a huge soda drinker either), coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. You have many options! By the way, some of my pals enjoy using their refillable mugs at the
World Premiere Food Court at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort. Grab a quick meal and fill up your mug during operating hours!
Gina, I just know that you are counting down the days to your vacation; it’s only a few sleeps away! If you need any other suggestions or have any lingering questions about your upcoming trip,
give us a holler here at planDisney.
Magic always,
LeAndra
