Beware: faxing Disney Dollar order!

[5dizneynutz]

I took the advise I found on the boards and from Allears about faxing an order for Disney Dollars. I wanted to put them in my 3 DD's Easter basket for our upcoming June trip. I faxed an order in today and got a phone call from Disney soon after that you can only get $50 or less with a credit card, any more than that is considered a cash advance and they are unable to to it. Since I wanted more I cancelled the order. He said you can pay by check but I wanted to recieve them for Easter. I'm bummed, we don't have a Disney Store near us and when I called the closest one they said the didn't even have any.

So can't you do a couple seperate orders of $50 to get more. Or use a couple different cards?

I thought of that but there's a $10 charge for each order. That could get expensive!!

Well, it won't be for Easter, but the Disney stores are supposed to get the new Disney Dollars in early to mid May.Too late for our trip, but at least you'll have them by June.

That's what I figured I would do. I just thought it would be cool to put them in their Easter basket. Oh, well!!

Just a suggestion . . . could you put some kind of coupon or certificate printed up on your computer in their Easter basket? Do a certificate with some Disney clip art saying something like "(name) is to receive $XX Disney Dollars before our trip to WDW in June" or something to that effect. That way they will get something in their basket and they will know they have Disney dollars coming to spend on something fun for their trip.
