Disney Lets Users Save 16-Digit Gift Cards in MyDisney Wallet for Faster Checkout

3 articles · Updated · WDW News Today · Jun 24

Summary

  • Disney has enabled Disney Gift Cards to be stored in MyDisney Wallet, turning them into a saved payment option instead of requiring manual entry at checkout.
  • The update is meant to speed purchases across Disney businesses by letting users add a 16-digit card number, EAN and optional nickname through the wallet’s “Add Payment Method” flow.
  • Saved cards can be used at Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Disney Store, ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu, and the wallet now also generates a barcode for in-person register payments.
  • The change expands app-based payment convenience already rolling out in My Disney Experience, where gift cards can be set as a default payment method for most purchases.
