Disney Dollars?

[Blndiebby25]

Is there anywhere in Canada that we can purchase Disney Dollars?

I think you can only get them at the Disney stores in the states. You can also order them through Disney.

How do you order them through Disney?

If you are ordering under $50, WDW can do this over the phone, but this is their max to charge to a credit card. Call the 800 number and listen for the option that gets you to merchandising. This is the info I received from them. If you need more, you have to send a money order in US funds with an extra $10 for shipping and specify your denominations (1,5,10) to:

WDW Ticketing Fulfillment
Attn: Disney Dollars
PO Box 10140
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830

I did this before Christmas and with snail mail it worked out to 2 weeks turn around - pretty much all mail being the delay, judging by the postmark. There isn't any other way to get DD in Canada.

Thanks Annette! I am hoping that when I come back from my non-Disney cruise in October I can get a few Disney Dollars each month.

What can the Disney Dollars be used for exactly? Can you use them in the restaurants as well as the vendors and stores at WDW?

The $50 limit is that at one time. If I was to call one month and order $50 and than call the next month and do it again, can I do this?

Thanks for all your help everyone! You are the best!

They are just like cash and can be used as such.

Keep in mind however that if you order them by mail you are paying to have cash sent to you. $10 to send $50. That's like mailing someone $60 and having them mail back $50. Doesn't make sense.

It is one thing to purchase Disney Dollars in person (that's just a straight $ for $ swap), but to pay to have them delivered...I don't get it.

We ordered a large amount this past Christmas on behalf of several family members who wanted to contribute to the souvenir and treat budget for my kids and neice. Many of them included a few dollars with their gift. For us, this was a great way to educate the kids more about money and how much things cost. It also helped the kids to think about their purchases and what the item meant to them as they knew that their money was limited, and not as easy as bugging Mom and Dad into whipping out the plastic. We kept track of each kid's money in separate little envelopes - they loved having DD. As a large purchase with the shipping shared by many, it wasn't a bit deal at all. However, as a method for savings, you are losing a lot by doing several transactions. Why don't you buy US money instead (some ATM even dispense US cash), and then when you are ready to buy DD, use that money to buy your money order you will have to get if you are mailing your order. Having DD doesn't get you any perks or anything, it is just like cash anywhere in the world. Some just get a kick out of it, that's all. (Yes, that's me, and I saved an unwrinkled $1 DD for my scrapbook).

I'm confused. I seem to recall being able to get them at the Disney Store here in Canada.

Nope. Never been sold outside of the USA.
