Can you use Disney Gift Boards for OBC once you have boarded?

My friend just boarded the Magic for a 5 night cruise, and she has several Disney gift cards, can she have them applied to her account on board for OBC and/or to use for tips?

Yep. She can call ahead of time and use them to buy OBC - I think it's in $25 increments, maybe $50?

Or she can put them on her account at Guest Services once she's boarded.

I would suggest she merge them onto one card over at disneygiftcard.com because anything left over will go back to the form of payment, so it would be easier to only have ONE card to deal with it coming back to than have a lot and try to figure out which it went to. (Like the guy at the subway turnstile today who seemed to have help onto every card he ever had whether it was empty or not - I know he missed one train trying to find the one with something on it. LOL.)

Just re-read and see that she just boarded. She can go to guest services. And she will have to hold onto every card.

Thank you for your quick response, she only has one card, so no worries there. In fact I have the number in case she wants me to transfer more to her for her WDW part of the trip.

Ok, the first post said "several" so I wasn't sure.

She can also use a gift card for the deposit for another cruise if she decided to book on board.

It was several, but I put them on one that she just bought in the gift card. Thanks again.
