Overview
- Disney Guest Relations confirmed that a number of third‑party stores at Disney Springs are no longer accepting Disney Gift Cards.
- The change appears limited to third‑party retailers at Disney Springs and does not affect Disney‑owned stores or third‑party shops inside the theme parks and resort hotels.
- Reporting names Zara and Vera Bradley among retailers that changed contract terms with Disney and stopped taking the cards while some stores such as Sephora continue to accept them.
- Separately, Disney+ gift cards have been reconfigured to work like standard Disney Gift Cards so they can be used for food, merchandise and tickets and their balances can be merged, subject to the $1,000 per‑card limit.
- Guests should register cards at disneygiftcard.com, check acceptance with individual stores or Guest Relations before buying, and bring a backup payment method because the list of participating retailers could change.
