Hi Susan!
Welcome to planDisney.
Disney Gift Cards are a little gem! They save you from having to carry cash around the parks and they take up little space in your purse and weigh nothing! You will have many opportunities to use them while you are staying at your Disney Resort hotel as they will be accepted at all participating shops and restaurants across Walt Disney World Resort.
While you cannot put them on your hotel room folio, you may also use them to settle part or all of your hotel folio during your stay - just take them to the Front Desk anytime during your vacation. I visit the Front Desk at the end of each day and settle my account using my Disney Gift Cards.
You can also redeem your Disney Gift Cards at the theme parks and water parks, and if you visit Disney Springs you can use them at all the Disney-owned stores and restaurants, and also at some non-Disney locations - just ask at the till. I thoroughly recommend a visit to the
World of Disney if you are looking for the widest selection of Disney souvenirs - Disney Gift Cards are definitely welcomed there!
A quick and easy way to check your balance is to visit the
Disney Gift Card website where you can enter the card number and see how much you have remaining. You will also be shown the balance of your gift card on each purchase receipt when you use them.
If you enjoy the convenience of using gift cards instead of your other payment methods, you can re-load your cards with values between $5-$1000 at any Disney location that sells Disney Gift Cards.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you can also
send me a direct question if you wish. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World.
Sue
