Disney Visa Question About This Page:

[Jajezoza]

We just received our Disney Visa card and were wondering how it works at the parks with the Key to the World and discounts. From my understanding, we get 10% off any Disney purchase over $50. Will we still receive this discount if we put the purchase on a Key that is guaranteed by a Disney Visa or do we have to use the actual Visa card to make the purchase?

You have to use the actual visa card to get the discount.

And the discount is only on purchases made at the World of Disney store in Downtown Disney. Sometimes they have other offers, but this is the only one that runs year round.

From my experience, you have to use the actual Visa to make the purchase at the store, and cannot put the purchase on the KTTW card and get the discount.

And if you are purchasing one of the specials (like spend $25, get a Mickey beach towel for $12.95) That $12.95 does not count toward the total needed to get the Disney Visa discount.

The best perk of the Disney Visa card is the free character photo in Epcot. It's definitely worth checking out!

But if you book your vacation using your Disney visa, you'll get extra stuff. When we used our debit card (the debit card no longer works with the rewards), we got a backpack and a special pin and I think something else, but I can't remember what it was.

Really? Because that hasn't been our experience. The only "extra" we've ever gotten was deferred interest. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that, but I wouldn't have minded a backpack or a pin, either!

I used my Disney visa to pay for our trip and I didn't receive any "goodies"!

I also think that when we made a purchase at MouseGear at Epcot, we also received a 10% off because our order was over $50. I think there are a couple of places, but not many.

Yep, when I booked and paid for my trip in 2010, we received the backpack and pin. It was actually a voucher for a pin, but they weren't the display pins. The CM went into a drawer to get it. We got lanyards too. And you can get the character photo as well. I think in WDW, its at Epcot, but at DL, I can't remember which park it was at, but I think DCA. We got our photo with Chip & Dale.

I think the backpack/pin gift must have been a special incentive they were running. I've used my Disney Visa many times to book and pay for my trip and never received anything like that.

We love our Disney Visa cards! I've used it for the discount at WOD, the character greeting at Epcot, and I love collecting the Disney Reward dollars toward the food for our trip.

Over the years, I've gotten special pins from Disney Visa....

I do think they've slowed down on such promotions, though.

Don't forget tour discounts! We just got ours today. $560 of Rewards and all we had to do was charge and pay it off at the end of the month. Sounds like a good deal to me! This will go far for the budget!

I wish I could get one! But living in Canada I cant! BOO! LOL
