More Third-Party Disney Springs Shops Drop Disney Gift Cards
Published October 16, 2026
More third-party stores at Disney Springs have stopped accepting Disney Gift Cards, Disney Rewards redemption cards, and Disney resort room charge, WDW News Today reported. The outlet names the LEGO Store as one of the shops that no longer takes those Disney payment methods.
The change covers independently operated Disney Springs stores; WDW News Today did not name Disney-operated locations.
The shift did not happen all at once. WDW News Today says it started with a handful of stores back in August and has since spread to more of the third-party shops.
What we know
- The LEGO Store (Disney Springs) — reportedly no longer accepting Disney Gift Cards, Disney Rewards redemption cards, or Disney resort room charge
- Payment types affected — Disney Gift Cards, Disney Rewards redemption cards, and charging to a Disney resort room account
- Timeline — began with select third-party stores in August, with more added since, according to WDW News Today
- Scope — third-party (non-Disney-operated) Disney Springs tenants; the coverage did not list every affected store
What’s not confirmed
The report does not cite a Disney statement or give a full list of affected stores. No reason for the change has been announced, and nothing in the reporting indicates whether more tenants will follow or whether any of these shops will resume accepting the cards.
What it means for your trip
- If you loaded up on discounted Disney Gift Cards to cover souvenirs, plan to spend them inside the parks, at Disney-owned Disney Springs stores like World of Disney, or on your resort folio — not at outside tenants such as the LEGO Store.
- Bring a credit or debit card as backup on a Disney Springs shopping night. Room charge may not work at third-party shops, so don’t count on your MagicBand or room key to cover a purchase there.
- Before you commit to a big-ticket buy at an outside tenant, ask at the register which payment types they take. Acceptance is store-by-store right now, and the reporting doesn’t cover every shop.
