Hi there, Sabrina!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thanks for your fantastic question. Some time at the spa is the perfect way to turn your vacation into a relaxing getaway! As someone who loves a little pampering now and then, I just adored the amenities and services at the
Mandara Spa in
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.
While Disney Gift Cards are not accepted as a form of payment at the Mandara Spa, if you are a Guest of the hotel and charge your services to your room, you can then pay for your room balance with Disney Gift Cards. If you are not hotel Guest, unfortunately there is no way to use Disney Gift Cards toward your treatments. Keep in mind that the Mandara Spa does offer Disneyland Annual Passport and Disney Vacation Club discounts, and they also accept Spafinder gift cards that can be purchased through third parties.
Within the Disneyland Resort, there are so many locations to utilize
Disney Gift Cards. Apart from using them for tickets and your hotel stay, you can use them at virtually every dining and shopping location in the parks. I actually prefer to make purchases with pre-paid Disney Gift Cards as a way to budget my spending during trips. It's great to not have to return home to a vacation credit card bill. I also love that Disney Gift Cards can be registered online which comes in handy if they are ever lost or stolen.
I hope this helps, and please return if you have any other questions. Have a magical day!
