Hi there, Kerry! Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your question. You must be getting so excited for a very magical visit to the Happiest Place on Earth this summer! You are going to love that California sunshine!
It sounds like you have been the lucky recipient of some
Disney Store Gift Cards! I spoke with our resident
UK panelist Jane to get some expert guidance on your question, and these can typically only be used for purchases at UK Disney Stores and may not be used at any other retail outlets or on the disneystore.co.uk website. It doesn't seem like these particular gift cards can be used towards the purchase of theme park tickets for the
Disneyland Resort. If I have misunderstood your question, please feel free to
reach out to me directly, and I'd be happy to help you further!
While you may not be able to use the gift cards for your trip, you can certainly use them to help you bring the magic home with you! I have no doubt that you will come away from your trip with many happy memories captured in photos. If you have upgraded your tickets to include
Genie+, one of the perks is that you will have access to unlimited digital downloads of all of the
Disney PhotoPass photos taken that day. What better way to remember those moments than using your gift cards to purchase some new picture frames! I try to select a new one after every trip - it gives me some motivation to print a few of my favorite photos, and I never regret that little bit of magic I feel every time I catch a glimpse of them! And just announced ...traditional character interactions (including hugs!) will be returning to the Disneyland Resort on April 18th! I know for me, hugs from Mickey and Minnie are just about as magical as it gets. Whether your young or young at heart, get ready for some very special forever memories!
Kerry, I know this may not be the information you were hoping for, but I sure hope it was helpful in your planning. If you have any more questions as you plan for your visit, please come back to see us. We are always here for you at
planDisney.
Keep wishing on those stars!
Tara
