    We will be staying at a Disney resort and would like to know if we are able to purchase gifts around the parks and instead of paying by card, charge it to our room and then settle the bill in cash at our resort reception?

    Hi Melanie,

    Welcome to planDisney! It looks like your Disney World vacation is just around the riverbend, you must be excited! Let's take a look at how you can charge purchases to your Disney Resort hotel room. 

    There are a few options for Guests to make purchases in the parks and have the charges put on their room folio. As an International Guest who often makes payments with Disney Gift Cards, I usually go this route to simplify things when shopping. Guests with a linked MagicBand can simply tap to have the charge placed on their hotel bill. If you don't have a MagicBand, not to worry - you can use your Key to the World Card (your resort room key). You'll need to ensure your card is set up with charging privileges, and a credit card will be linked to your room account. 

    Once you're ready to settle your balance, head to the Front Desk at your Resort before check-out, and let a Cast Member know you'd like to pay the balance on your account. They'll be happy to assist and apply your payment accordingly. If you are paying with a Gift Card, make sure the payment is completed before the Resort automatically charges the card on file, which typically happens overnight before your departure day.

    I hope this information is helpful to your planning, Melanie. If you have any other questions, please let us know - we are happy to assist!
