Can you purchase gift cards from a disney store in Canada and use them at WDW?

Hi! Planning our first trip and I'm wondering if it's possible to buy gift cards here in Canada and use them at WDW (for food, souveniers, etc.)?

Thanks!

We were wondering the exact same thing last week! I called the Ottawa store and they said no, they only have the gift certificates to be used in stores. Never one to stop with the first attempt, my daughter lives in Calgary, and she called the store there to ask. But same answer --no. But I would love to know if anyone else has had any better luck!

Darn! I figured that would be the answer but I hoped it would be different. Oh well, not that big a deal but it would have been so convient!

I don't think so (yet another penalty of being a Canadian in Disney LMAO!), but what about putting the money you've earmarked for the gift card onto one purchased at DTD? That would serve the same purpose, I think. Enjoy your vacation!

I tried to purchase Disney gift cards online through disneyshopping.com to give my kids in their stockings last christmas (to spend on our upcoming trip), but they wouldn't let me buy them due to "fluctuations in currencies". Didn't make much sense to me as I would have had to pay the exchange rate at the time of purchase. I didn't really see how it was different from getting US cash at the time. They said the gift cards purchased online were only available in the U.S.
