Disney World Restaurant Offering FREE $10 Reward Cards With Holiday Gift Card Deal

A popular Disney World restaurant is giving guests a little something extra this holiday season, but you’ll want to read the fine print before taking advantage of this deal!

The holiday shopping season is officially underway, and if you’ve got a Disney World fan on your gift list, there’s a new promotion that might make your shopping a little easier. One popular restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is offering bonus rewards when guests purchase gift cards, and there’s even an additional perk for loyalty program members. Here’s everything you need to know before purchasing!

Yak & Yeti Restaurant, located in the Asia section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, has announced its 2026 holiday gift card promotion, giving guests a $10 reward card for every $50 in qualifying gift cards purchased.

The promotion runs from October 1 through December 31, 2026, and is available both online and in-store. That means guests purchasing $100 in gift cards can receive $20 in bonus reward cards, while a $250 purchase would earn $50 in rewards. There’s also an additional incentive for Landry’s Select Club members, who can earn 1.5 times the usual points on qualifying purchases.

How Does the Yak & Yeti Holiday Gift Card Promotion Work?

Guests who purchase at least $50 in qualifying Yak & Yeti or participating Landry’s gift cards will receive a $10 promotional reward card for every $50 spent, up to the promotion’s $500 purchase limit. The gift cards don’t have to be purchased in a single denomination, either. For example, purchasing two $25 gift cards would still qualify for a $10 reward card.

Here’s a breakdown of the potential rewards:

• $50 in gift cards: $10 reward card
• $100 in gift cards: $20 in reward cards
• $150 in gift cards: $30 in reward cards
• $200 in gift cards: $40 in reward cards
• $250 in gift cards: $50 in reward cards
• $300 in gift cards: $60 in reward cards
• $350 in gift cards: $70 in reward cards
• $400 in gift cards: $80 in reward cards
• $450 in gift cards: $90 in reward cards
• $500 in gift cards: $100 in reward cards

The promotion is limited to a maximum of $500 in qualifying gift card purchases per household or email address and is available while supplies last. Gift cards purchased online will have their promotional rewards delivered to the purchaser’s email address as electronic reward cards within five business days.

Important Restrictions You’ll Want to Know

While receiving bonus rewards sounds great, there are some restrictions guests should know before purchasing. The promotional reward cards are valid January 1 through March 31, 2027, so they cannot be redeemed immediately during the 2026 holiday season. Each $10 reward card also requires a minimum purchase of $25 in food and/or non-alcoholic beverages at a participating restaurant.

Additionally, guests can only redeem one reward card per table, per visit, regardless of how many reward cards they received through the promotion. Reward cards cannot be redeemed February 12–14, 2027, or during Restaurant Week offers. They also cannot be combined with other discounts or promotional offers.

Other restrictions include:

• Reward cards cannot be used toward delivery, gratuities, merchandise, or gift cards.
• Reward cards are single-use promotional cards with no cash value.
• Landry’s Select Club loyalty points cannot be earned when redeeming a promotional reward card.
• Reward cards must be presented and surrendered when redeemed.
• Lost, stolen, altered, or damaged reward cards will not be replaced.
• Promotional reward cards cannot be resold or distributed online.

The promotional reward cards can be redeemed at participating Landry’s restaurants throughout the United States, excluding Catch, Mastro’s, and The Post Oak Hotel.

Landry’s Select Club Members Can Earn Extra Points

There’s another bonus for guests who participate in Landry’s Select Club. Members can earn 1.5x points on qualifying gift card purchases made during the promotional period.

According to Landry’s, points earned through the promotion will be added to members’ accounts within seven business days of the purchase. However, Landry’s Select Club points cannot be earned on gift card purchases exceeding the promotion’s $500 limit. For guests who frequently dine at participating Landry’s restaurants, the additional points could make the holiday gift card promotion even more appealing.

Can You Use These Gift Cards at Other Disney World Restaurants?

One important distinction is that these are Landry’s gift cards, not standard Disney Gift Cards. Yak & Yeti gift cards are part of the Landry’s gift card program, meaning they can be redeemed at participating Landry’s locations across the United States. That includes restaurants such as Rainforest Cafe and T-REX Cafe, both of which have locations at Walt Disney World Resort.

However, guests should keep in mind that the gift cards are not accepted at every restaurant throughout Walt Disney World. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Landry’s gift cards are accepted at the table-service Yak & Yeti Restaurant, but not at the nearby Yak & Yeti Local Foods Café quick-service location. Guests dining at Yak & Yeti inside Animal Kingdom will also need valid theme park admission.

Guests interested in purchasing gift cards can visit Yak & Yeti’s official holiday gift card promotion page for additional information. The offer is available through December 31, 2026, while supplies last.
