Dear ,
Thank you for contacting the
Walt Disney World® Resort! Gift card funds can be put on your resort folio for charging and incidental purposes; however, this can only be done in person at the resort's front desk. Should the funds run out during your stay, you can reload the funds via the front desk Cast Members for the remainder of your stay. If there are any funds left over at check-out, that amount is refunded back to your gift card. Please keep in mind that you do not have to have a credit card on file at the resort as this is your choice. If you want to make payments towards your vacation package, you can do so pre-arrival over the phone or on the website as package remaining balances are due in full 30 days prior to your arrival. You can make payments using a credit card, debit card, or gift card.
If you have any other questions or challenges, please do not hesitate to contact us by calling us at 407-W-DISNEY (407-934-7639) or by chatting with us in the Help Center of the
Walt Disney World® website. Cast Members will be happy to assist you further.
Sincerely,
Sunni Barnes

Hi,
We're arriving for our vacation and I had a question about the new credit card hold. Usually we put our CC on our account for charging, but then pay our room balance every few day with gift cards. Will we be able to do that still or can we put pre-load our account with a gift card the day we check-in and then put another one on when that one runs out? I understand we'll still need to put a CC on the account and that isn't a problem, i just want to be able to pay our balance with the gift cards or cash.
