How do I pay for my vacation package using only gift cards?

[j's m]

1. Once you're in MDE, click on "My Reservations and Tickets" in the drop-down menu.
2. After your resort reservations have loaded, there should be a link for making a payment listed under the reservation - IF YOU HAVE A PACKAGE!
3. If it isn't there, then click on the "View Details" link located underneath the abbreviated reservation info. A new window will open over top of the main MDE screen.
4. Allow the window to fully load your info. A link for making a payment should appear right under the title: "Reservation for #".

We have a package and the view details link has no clickables. I think the problem may be I have the MDE account in my name, and this reservation was made under DH's name since it was a bounceback originally and I was packing up to leave and he had time. I will next try to get him his own MDE account with a different e-mail address and see if it works.

Thanks for the help.

Same problem here but I booked the trip. Maybe a glitch in the system..? Please let me know if you figure it out, thanks!

DH called today and the CM said not being able to pay our balance online had something to do with the coding for free dining. Should be fixed with the next software update.

Thanks, hope that it does work. My balance isn't due until Oct 30.

I have this problem also. Disney chat said that they are working on making the "make a payment" button show up consistently.

Huh, considering the savings, the two minutes it takes to enter a gift card online as a payment seems worth it to me. But, I'd like to save that $160+ and spend it somewhere else. To each his own.

Plus the time to buy the cards, etc. I have seen threads here with people who pay for their trips with dozens of cards, which I think is crazy. Again, my time is worth far more than that, but I realize other people's isn't or they don't feel the same way. That's okay.

Disney vacation account.
https://disneyvacationaccount.disney.go.com

It's free, you can load gift cards on it and they combine then use vacation account number to book

Also, you get $20 for every $1000 you spend towards a Disney vacation.

That would be 5% cash savings with red card and 2% cashback for every $1000.
