    I applied for my Disney rewards credit card what do I do before it arrives and when it arrives?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Grant!

    Can you believe that your great big beautiful tomorrow holds a visit to Walt Disney World Resort? You're visiting at the practically perfect time because the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is in full bloom. Be sure to explore the gardens, sample the Outdoor Kitchens, and take a photo with your favorite topiary! 

    Whether you're purchasing festival merchandise or snacking your way through EPCOT, I'm happy to share that both Disney Visa Cards and Disney Rewards Redemption Cards are accepted as forms of payment in Walt Disney World Resort theme parks. Since you've applied for your card, you're one step closer to enjoying exclusive Cardmember perks, savings, and earning Disney Rewards Dollars! Now that your application is in, you'll simply wait for Chase to let you know if your application has been approved. Sometimes, the application is able to be approved instantly, and in other instances, the application will need more time to be processed. When more processing time is required, Chase notifies applicants of their decision through the mail as soon as possible. You can conveniently find more details about the process here.  

    If you receive the happy news that you are approved, your new card will be mailed to you, and you'll simply follow the activation instructions included with your card. Once you have the card, I recommend adding it as a payment method in your My Disney Experience app so that you can earn Rewards Dollars on all of your magical purchases. You'll also want to be sure to bring the physical card with you into the theme parks so that you can redeem any available discounts and access exclusive character experiences.  

    I hope this helps, Grant, and that your upcoming vacation is filled with magical memories, Mickey-shaped snacks, and sunshine! If any other questions arise while you're in the middle of the magic, feel free to stop back by planDisney. You've got a friend in me!

    Thinking Happy Thoughts,
