Each room key (used also for charging) can have it's own form of payment. That is, each one can have separate form of payments (different credit cards, for example). If you're asking about having different cash amounts, I'm not sure.
That's the thing though. I don't want to have charges coming from the same pool of money. I don't want to try to figure it out and "balance a checkbook register" every day. I'd rather have guest services set up one account for one of us and another account for the other one of us. Any charges I make come from my pool of money any charges they make come from their pool of money.
Charges are by Guest so it is fairly easy to figure out who owes how much. However I don't know that you can do what you want with a straight cash account. You definitely can do it with a credit card -- each adult set-up their own credit (or debit) card -- and then go to Guest Services to pay down the charges with your cash before it gets put through to the credit card.
We will both be using a card instead of putting cash on our account.
How does a Disney gift card work? Let's say I add a $200 Disney GC to the account. How does that work with charges on board and Guest Services?
You still need to set up the onboard account as “cash” or backed by s credit card. Then you can take the gift card to Guest Services to apply it. Charges will go against the gift card before a credit card is charged.
That’s easy, then. At some point in online check-in, you supply your travel info AND designate how your onboard charges are covered. You will designate who the first guest is responsible for, for charges. Supply credit card #.
Add to previous post, charges are deducted in this order: non-refundable onboard credit, refundable onboard credit (like gift cards if applied to room), then designated payment (credit card on file, then cash).
Adults in another stateroom can set a minor’s account to be the responsibility of the parent’s stateroom and however their account is set. You can apply a gift card, but “gift card” is not a specific option to back the account. Most likely the child’s account was backed by the parents’ credit card but they also applied the gift card to be used first.
I didn't know you could gift yourself OBC. Thanks!
It’s hard to find where you do this. Just load your reservation, click on Onboard Gifts and when you get to the gifts page, click on Shop by Categories and you’ll find the link. Took me 20 minutes to find it the first time.

Yes, you do. You can set up one credit card for everyone in the stateroom, or do various combinations of credit cards/charging abilities.
