? about saving for Disney with Disney Gift Cards - adding $$

[jgraney106]

I had a quick question about the Disney Gift Cards. I am trying to save some money for a Disney trip, using a Disney gift card. I have already purchased a nifty one with Tinkerbelle on it.
On the boards I read that you can add funds to the card by phone.My questions are:
When adding money to the gift card by phone, do you have to use a credit card , or can you have the money transfered out of a bank account?

Is this option only available by phone? Is there some way you could add funds using paypal online?

Thanks for the help!

I don't think that they are equipped to do a bank transfer to the GC and I don't know of any way to add funds online, so PayPal would not be an option.

Aside from using a CC to add the funds, you may be able to use a debit card which is tied to your bank account that has a VISA or MasterCard logo.

You can also top off your card at a Disney Store using your CC, debit card or cash.

All of the Disney Stores here are closed. But using a debt card would be super!
Has anyone out there ever used a debit card to add funds to their Disney gift card? I'd love to know if it works for sure.

I know that at Park Guest Services we can add to a gift card using any form of payment (except another gift card). And the maximum that can be on a gift card is $1,500.00.

Well I finally got on the phone today and called Disney DelivEARS (1-800-760-3566 ) and asked if you can use a debit card to add funds to a Disney gift card. They said YES! as long as the debit card has a visa or mastercard logo on it. YAHOO! my bank debit card does!
So I am all set.
Thank you all for the advice. Gave a great Disney Day!
