Disney gift cards and Travel Agent

[Oswald the Canuck]

Will travel agents use Disney gift cards as payment towards a cruise?
Or can I use them as a method of payment directly on the Cruise site?

As long as the travel agency pays Disney directly you should be able to use the gift cards. I know Dreams Unlimited Travel, the agency that sponsors this site, pays Disney directly and they do accept gift cards.

I would say to check w/ your travel agent.

Like Plutolovr, we also use Dreams Unlimited.

My (non-Dreams) TA has applied Disney gift cards, as well as other types of gift cards (AmEx, Visa) with no problem.

Also, if working through a TA, I don't believe you yourself can make payment of any kind directly through the site.

We opened a Disney Vacation Account. You can enter all of your gift cards yourself and then call DCL to pay for your reservation using your account. They do not want you providing your DVA account # to your travel agent so you can call in payment when using DVA and a TA.

That sounds like a good way to do it.
Unfortunately living in Canada means I can't open A Disney Vacation Account or even get a Disney Visa card.
