Hi Nicholas! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear about your upcoming trip to the
Walt Disney World Resort! Before you know it, you'll be arriving for a magical stay filled with unforgettable experiences and lasting memories.
I have great news to share, Nicholas! You may certainly use
Disney Gift Cards to pay for your vacation to Walt Disney World. When you reach the checkout page for your purchase, it will display an option to input a Disney Gift Card for payment.
When booking your stay, you will need to combine your stay at the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel with your park tickets. By doing so, this will help keep your plans all in one place and only require you to pay an initial deposit to secure your vacation package. Currently, the deposit is $200, although this cost is subject to change at any time. Then the remainder will be due 30 days before your arrival. With your anticipated arrival in early October, the balance will be due rather quickly.
If you wish to book your hotel reservation and ticket package separately, you can do so as well. However, you may not be provided the option to book the Dolphin Hotel without including the ticket package. If so, you'll need to head directly to their website to reserve a room, which will not provide you with the option to use a Disney Gift Card for payment. To book your ticket package, simply follow the prompts on the website to choose the number of days and type of ticket you prefer. Once you reach the checkout page, you will see an option to pay with a gift card.
Nicholas, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
