Paying for Lightning Lane, Premier etc.

[TheBigErn]

Is there a way to pay for these with a Disney gift card?

 

[scrappinginontario]

Yes

 

[TheBigErn]

Yes

how do I set that up?

 

[Kooks and Bay Bay]

MDE app. Go to the menu and scroll down to account, click profile, scroll to payment methods.

Unfortunately you can’t save a DGC as a payment method in MDE, only credit cards and Disney Visa Rewards cards. You have to save the relevant numbers for a DGC as a note on your phone and copy and paste them when paying for LLs. There’s an extra step involved where you tell MDE not to use one of the saved methods, but I can’t remember the details.

shoot yeah forgot. I was thinking about my redemption card when I said how to do it.

There seems to be conflicting information here and on the internet but it looks like it can be done.

Yeah if you go to the payment method section it indeed is only for credit card/debit card/rewards redemption card. I had that wrong.
I was also thinking about when mobile ordering I think now it may allow you to save your gift card as a payment method but yes the above poster had correct info I believe about doing it with Lightning Lane.

I wasn’t sure, so I just looked in my MDE app and tapped where it said Add a Payment Method, and the only options were CC (or debit card) or DV Rewards card.

Is a rewards redemption card different than a gift card? i'm not familiar with a redemption card

Disney Visa credit cards earn rewards dollars as a certain percentage of purchases. Those dollars can be loaded onto a Rewards Card that then functions just like a DGC most of the time, but recently gained the benefit of being saved in MDE as a payment method.
