Hiya, Jacquelyn, and welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're counting down the final days to your visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth, and you must be getting so excited! I'm so happy you're here with this great question about your upcoming vacation.
Jacquelyn, the best way to use your
Disney Gift Card is to enter the gift card number at checkout when making a purchase online, or by using the physical card at any point of sale where they're accepted. At this time, you can't save a Disney Gift Card to your account as a form of payment.
You can visit
this helpful website to combine your gift cards, up to $1,000 each. I like to save the gift card info to my notes on my smartphone so I can easily copy and paste it when making purchases and when using
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering.
I also like to use Disney Gift Cards to offset the charges I make when I scan my
MagicBand+ in the parks and at dining locations. To do this, visit the Front Desk of your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel the night before you check out. A helpful Cast Member will scan your Gift Cards and apply them to your balance.
Jacquelyn, I hope this is helpful to you as you finish packing your bags for your vacation. Please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have!
See ya real soon!
Jennifer
