10 Tips to Maximize Your Vacation to the Disneyland® Resort with the Disney® Visa® Credit Card

Updated November 13, 2025

The Disneyland® Resort invites Guests to enjoy iconic, enchanted experiences throughout the parks once again. For Cardmembers who need a quick refresher on all the ways the Disney Visa Card can help you get more Disney during your vacation, we’ve made a list of 10 ways to make the most of every moment. Before your visit, be sure to check out the experience updates page for the latest information and follow this guide to maximize your getaway.

1. Earn Disney Rewards Dollars when you book your vacation

Plan ahead and be sure to use your Disney Visa Card as you make reservations for your hotel, purchase theme parks tickets to Disneyland® Park and Disney California Adventure® Park and more. You’ll earn Disney Rewards Dollars with each purchase.1 Be sure you have a reservation and admission for the same park on the same date, and keep in mind that park reservations are limited and subject to availability.

2. Gear up with 10% off vacation essentials from DisneyStore.com

Gather everything you’ll need for your getaway with a functional and stylish backpack, ear hats and headbands, and more parks essentials from Disney store or DisneyStore.com. And remember, Cardmembers can save 10% on select purchases.2

3. Treat yourself with Disney Rewards Dollars

Order or refill your Disney Rewards Redemption Card prior to traveling so you can redeem away during your vacay. You can redeem your Disney Rewards Dollars toward tasty food, room upgrades, merchandise and one-of-a-kind experiences, such as building a custom lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop.145

4. Download the Disneyland® app

Planning tools, park updates and exclusive content—enjoy all this and more when you download the official mobile app of the Disneyland® Resort! You can also place mobile orders (and even use your Disney Rewards Dollars toward them) and purchase a Lighting Lane pass, making it your one-stop, on-the-go shop.*

5. Visit Cardmember-exclusive locations for photo opportunities

Disney Visa Cardmembers can take special photos at exclusive locations at Disneyland® Park. You’ll also receive complimentary downloads of your Disney PhotoPass® photos. Pose with some favorite pals and some legendary Super Heroes inside Disney California Adventure® Park in Hollywood Land (near Stage 17).47

6. Star Wars fans, there’s a photo opportunity for you, too

Fans of the galaxy far, far away can take a photo with some favorite Star Wars characters at the Cardmember location on the outside of Star Wars Launch Bay, across from Autopia powered by Honda, in Tomorrowland at Disneyland® Park. Receive complimentary downloads of your Disney PhotoPass® photos.47

7. Make convenient, contactless payments at the Disneyland® Resort

The tap-to-pay feature of the Disney Visa Card means you can make instant payments without contact during your vacation. For convenience, it is recommended that all Guests use cashless payments at Disney parks and Resorts, and Cardmembers have this option ready to go. Learn more about contactless cards, including how to use them or request one, on our FAQ page.

8. Save 10% on select merchandise purchases

Shop for souvenirs for the Disney fans in your life—yourself included—throughout the Disneyland® Resort. Pick up thoughtful gifts, including special goodies you can only find at the parks. Cardmembers receive 10% off select merchandise purchases with the Disney Visa Card.45 This discount will also be applied when you use Merchandise Mobile Checkout on the Disneyland® app.

9. Save 10% on unforgettable meals at select restaurants

Savor American standards at River Belle Terrace in Disneyland® Park, the fine fare of Wine Country Trattoria in Disney California Adventure® Park and more delicious dining—with 10% off most days at select dining locations when you use your Disney Visa Card.413 Get the full list of locations where you can save with the Disney Rewards Dining Perks Guide.

10. Take some time to explore the Downtown Disney® District

The sights, sounds and shopping don’t stop at the parks. Take a tour of the Downtown Disney® District and extend the enchantment! Fuel up during your exploration with a treat from Wetzel’s® Pretzels and save 20% on select purchases with your Disney Visa Card.415 You can also redeem Disney Rewards Dollars at various shops around the Downtown Disney® District, such as The D-Lander Shop, which offers apparel, gifts and even a dedicated PANDORA jewelry counter.1
