    Can I use a disney gift card to purchase any item (food, merchandise) inside Disneyland/California Adventure?

    Hey there, hi there, Daniel! Welcome to planDisney. We love being able to help Guests get all their planning questions answered!

    You're about to visit during the merriest time of the year! I hope you are getting excited! I am happy to share that most food and merchandise locations inside the parks accept Disney Gift Cards as payment, as long as they are Disney-owned locations. Just kindly ask a Cast Member when paying if it is accepted. You can also use a Disney Gift Card for experiences like a tour or Lightning Lane Multi Pass. You can even use your Disney Gift Card in the Disneyland app to mobile order! Disney Gift Cards cannot be saved in the Disneyland app, like credit cards, so I have a tip for you. I recommend saving your Disney Gift Card number and EAN number as a note on your phone so that you can easily copy and paste this into the payment information when checking out. 

    If you are excited to check out Festival of the Holidays at Disney California Adventure Park, you can use your Disney Gift Card to purchase a Sip and Savor Pass. One of my favorite foodie items this year is the Sticky Toffee Pudding Macaron. 

    Daniel, thanks so much for stopping by! We are here if you have any other last-minute questions!
