How does your family do Disney? Maybe you visit the same park on the same holiday each year, always have dinner at your favorite restaurant or perhaps end every visit with a group photo in front of Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella Castle. Disney family traditions like these can make a magical experience even more wonderful, and when passed down through the generations, they help to create a special bond of lifelong memories. If you want to start a new Disney family tradition of your own, perhaps the following stories from our Cardmembers will inspire you.* And when you visit, be sure to redeem your Disney Rewards Dollars toward purchasing food and souvenirs to help make those memories last.¹

Celebrate Disney-Style with Your BFF

“The Disney parks have become a tradition for me and my best friend. We have found ourselves going every year maybe 2-3 times no matter how far apart we are. These trips were always possible because of my Disney Visa Credit Card and the Disney Rewards Dollars I had saved. No matter what we are celebrating, we always celebrate together at Disney, thanks to the Disney Visa Credit Card and Disney Rewards Dollars and perks I always get when we visit.”¹

Get Away to a Disney Park on Labor Day

“I take my children to Disney World over Labor Day Weekend every year. I use the Disney Rewards Dollars that I’ve earned during the year as our “Vacation Spending Money.” We each get an allotment that we can spend any way we wish. I feel that the purchases my children make are more meaningful because they were made with money that was allotted for them. It’s exciting to see how many Rewards Dollars accumulate so quickly.”¹

Give Him a Father’s Day to Remember at the Disneyland® Resort

“My retired parents adore Disneyland. They introduced me to the park at age 6, and we’ve visited often for decades. Saving Disney Rewards Dollars helped me surprise my dad with a Father’s Day trip to Disneyland. Goals: ride Guardians of the Galaxy and the new Soarin’, and of course, visit the Happiest Place on Earth. Meeting up with Darth Vader fed our Star Wars fixation! More memories are ahead!”¹

Making Disney Memories for 17 Years … and Counting

“My family and I have been taking an annual trip to Disneyland almost every year for the past 17 years. Over the years, we have been able to build our Disney Rewards Dollars and apply them toward park tickets, food in the park and merchandise. It is fun earning and using our Rewards Dollars to make our trips more affordable. In 2015, the guys took this special picture and surprised me for Mother’s Day!”¹

Eat, Drink and Be Merry at the EPCOT® International Food and Wine Festival

“We love to go to Epcot for the Food and Wine Festival. I use my Disney Rewards Dollars each year for my family to have a great time tasting the different foods and drinks from around the world. It’s a great family tradition. My Rewards Dollars make it easier to try all the food that we want!!”¹

A Trend Worth Saving For

“We are a Disney-loving family and extended family. Sometimes it’s very hard to save for a Disney trip. I love to use my Disney Visa for everything. Every penny spent on the Card helps while vacationing in at Disney. Disney is full of memories for my family. I started the trend of Disney vacations, seems like everyone is hooked for a lifetime of magical memories. We all just love Disney.”
