food IS a theme park
Attention Sam’s Club Members: A BRAND-NEW Disney Gift Card deal is available right now!
Disney gift cards!
Many Disney guests use gift cards for nearly everything, from actually paying for their trips in full to using them as a method of controlling spending money while on vacation. This method is especially beneficial at warehouse clubs like Sam’s Club, which often have discounts on gift cards that, in turn, give them de facto discounts on Disney trips and souvenirs.
Dinner is never fun to plan, and as we get deeper into the winter months, the last thing we want is to plan a whole week of meals between soccer practice, fall break, and recitals. That’s why we’re pulling out the gift card to make it easier!
Gift cards for days!
We’re sharing some of our favorite gift card deals to make finding dinner and other activities a little easier. I mean, who doesn’t love pizza on Fridays, especially if you can get $8 of free pizza?
My Disney Experience is a pretty robust app that lets you do just about everything you need when you visit Disney World. You can use the app to check in to your hotel room, unlock your hotel room door, connect to your MagicBand, act as your ticket into the parks, check wait times, book Lightning Lanes, and so much more.

The app also lets you pay for food via mobile order, as well as pay for merchandise through mobile checkout, but if you want to use a gift card to pay for those things, it’s always been kind of a hassle when using the app. Well, Disney FINALLY fixed that problem and you can set the app to pay with a gift card by default now.
The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is one of those Disney World events that sounds simple on paper. You walk around EPCOT. You eat little plates of food. You sip things. You nod like a serious culinary scholar while holding a tiny fork and standing next to a trash can. It’s culture.
It’s Time for the Food & Wine Festival!
But here’s the thing: Food & Wine can either feel like a glorious global snack crawl or a very expensive cardio experiment with more lines than your average DMV. The difference usually comes down to how well you use the perks, benefits, and sneaky little savings opportunities already available to you.
These days, a lot of people are going to Disney World on a tight budget, and we totally get it.
