What Can I Use a Disney Gift Card for at Walt Disney World?

December 5, 2014

Question: What can I use Disney Gift Cards to pay for while on my vacation to Walt Disney World?

Answer: Basically anything! There are a few things that are cash only (like balloons from street vendors and the toys/souvenirs that are brought out before parades and are sold by street vendors), but other than that, everything is free game! That includes your actual vacation package as long as you have booked through Disney, or a Disney Travel Agency like World of Magic Travel!

If you are going to use gift cards to pay for your vacation package just know that you, or your travel agent, will need to call them since only two forms of payment can be entered online.

When you’re in the parks, gift cards can be used for meals, gratuity at meals (if you’re on the dining plan and the cost of your meal is covered) and souvenirs. With the new Magic Bands you can even charge purchases to your room (provided you have given them a credit card to hold at check-in) and then go down to the lobby each night and apply the gift cards to your room as payment. That way you don’t need to worry about losing your Disney Gift Cards while exploring the parks or Downtown Disney.
