Hi Jiayu! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks so much for stopping by to send us your question.
Making Advanced Dining Reservations is always at the top of my list when planning to vacation at The Happiest Place on Earth. When making your dining reservations, a credit card is required to hold the booking. Once at the restaurant, you can use a
Disney Gift Card for payment. This also applies to select dining events such as parade viewing packages and character dining. I recently visited and was able to use a Disney Gift Card upon check-in for those dining experiences. There are exceptions to using a Disney Gift Card, such as the
World of Color Dessert Party, which requires a credit card payment in advance at the time of reservation.
Before you arrive, be sure to
download the Disneyland Mobile App for quick and easy access to your
Theme Park Tickets, dining reservations, and much more. I also suggest checking out the
Holiday Guide from the Disney Parks Blog to learn about the
Holiday offerings you can look forward to!
If you have more questions, please feel free to send them to us at planDisney. We're all ears, and we would love to help!
Wishing you magic,
Lisa
