If you’re looking to rack up a lot of rewards that you can use for any part of your Disney experience, you can use Disney Premier Credit Card or Disney Rewards Credit Card. They do give you Disney-specific perks. But if you’re a fairly big-spender, you can save more overall with one of the best travel rewards cards. Most people need to travel a pretty long way to get to Disney parks, and you can use the money you save on that for more Disney fun.

There are obviously the Disney branded credit cards, but I think the best one is actually the Chase Sapphire Reserve, as it's a great travel credit card.
