Hey there, Michael! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for stopping by with such a great question!
Well, Michael, you sound like someone after my own Disney planning heart. I had always wanted to take
Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour and was finally able to do so last year. It is now one of my very favorite Disney experiences to date, and you are truly in for the BEST. DAY. EVER! The tour guides are amazing, and the tour is informative, interesting, oh-so-fun and just feels like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I can't wait for you to get your keys to the Kingdom, so let's chat about booking the tour, shall we?
You are correct that you cannot use a Disney Gift Card and only have the option to use a credit or debit card when booking Keys to the Kingdom Tour on the
Walt Disney World website. But Hakuna Matata! It means "no worries." If you
call a helpful Cast Member with Tours and Recreation, they should be able to enter your Disney Gift Card to use as payment for your magical tour. In fact, I just spoke with
the most magical Cast Member who confirmed that it can be done. Happy booking!
One more tip for the tour, Michael! Taking photos or videos was not allowed once the tour began, so I suggest taking a few selfies right before your tour begins to commemorate and always remember this incredible experience you are about to have. Enjoy!
I hope this was helpful, Michael, and I hope you have the most magical and memorable tour and adventure at The Most Magical Place on Earth! Please feel free to stop by any time with any questions you may have along the way.
Blue skies and sunshine,
Mandy
