MDE buying Magic Band+ with Dis Gift card?

[BaybeeYoda]

Hi everyone, silly question but can't figure it out-- I'm trying to purchase the pre-order price for our trip in June. Can't seem to use a disney gift card on the MDE.... requires that I use a CC. Any suggestions?

We want to get the Magic Band+ (especially the 50th anny ones). We are a bit sad that they will take away the gold statues by our next trip in June, as they weren't selling the magic bands+ last June. What do you think about the Band+?

The bands are not as comfortable as the previous ones and they pop open very easily. I wouldn't wear one without a slider to keep it closed. And though I purchased one to check it out I decided to wear an old one.

You can't use a gift card to pay for the MagicBands on MDE. It's very annoying. If you want to use a gift card, you'll have to pay full price on ShopDisney.

We used them on our trip this month. They were okay. We mostly got them for statue collecting and Batuu Bounty Hunting. We don't attend fireworks or parades so that functionality is a waste for us.
Dislikes: Uncomfortable compared to MB2's. Larger puck area which doesn't flex at all, which is a problem if you have small wrists. Had mine pop off once getting off a ride. Luckily it landed on the exit platform and I was able to grab it up. The hot/cold function during Bounty Hunting is terribly frustrating.
Likes: The lights are fun. Sometimes it would go off on rides. Statues were fun but they'll be gone very soon. Batuu Bounty Hunting was fun but definitely needs improvement. We got tired and frustrated of walking in circles after about 4-5 bounties.
