I receive a lot of questions about Disney Gift Cards and how you can use them. I’m here to help provide some answers!
As a frequent visitor to Walt Disney World, I absolutely love having Disney Gift Cards on hand. It reduces the need for me to carry cash at the parks and resorts. They also make great gifts for anyone visiting WDW!
Disney Gift Cards come in hundreds of designs, have no fee, no expiration date, and can be used almost anywhere!

There are also opportunities to buy them in bulk and even save some money! If you are planning for a Disney vacation, start saving early, buy Disney Gift Cards in bulk or at Target (with your Redcard) to receive 5% back. Take advantage anywhere you can find a cost savings!

Tip: In many locations, you can also use your Disney Rewards Redemption Card to purchase Disney Gift Cards. If you use the Disney Chase Visa and obtain rewards, use the reward dollars to purchase Gift Cards. That’s another way to save some money!

What Happens If My Card is Lost or Stolen?
If your card is lost or stolen, call 1-877-650-4327 to report it. You will need to provide the first 12 digits of the Disney Gift Card account number to the agent.
Tip: Take a photo of the back of your card so you have the number handy.
Your Disney Gift Card will be ‘frozen’ and funds remaining on the card (at the time of the call) can be transferred onto a new card. An original proof of purchase receipt for the Disney Gift Card is required to transfer the funds onto a new Disney Gift Card.
Can Anyone Use the Gift Card?
Yes, anyone can use the gift card. It’s recommended to keep the card in a safe place. Anyone who has the card in their possession will be able to make purchases with the card. If the card is lost or stolen, anyone can use the card. The funds are not protected as they are on a credit card – that money will be lost if used by someone else.
Can I Transfer a Balance from One Card to Another?
Yes, to consolidate cards you can transfer full balances from one card to another, up to $1000. You cannot transfer partial balances. Keep in mind the max amount you can have on any Disney Gift Card is $1000. Visit the Transfer Balance page on DisneyGiftCard.com.
