Disney Gift Cards

[Tinkaboo]

Does anyone know if you can buy the various gift cards that are on ShopDisney.com at the parks?
on the site, they have princess and Avengers and a whole host to choose from.

I’ve never gotten any at the park. I know they have that special Star Wars money thing at one store because my friend bought one last summer. But I just want maybe Cinderella and the Avengers.

So if I can get it at the park, one less thing I need to think about before my trip. If not, I’ll go ahead and order.

As always, TIA!

For me, I try to purchase Disney gift cards at a discount. Target is one place where you get 5% off with the Target Red Card. It adds up. I get cards from Frys (Krogers) when I get 4x gas points. It makes a big different when hubby fills up the cars. I don't know about getting gift cards in the park, though.

They do have a few choices at the parks, but I don't remember which ones.

They do NOT have nearly the selection of GCs at the parks that you can get on shopdisney. I always order off of shopdisney in advance so my girls have the GC design that they want.

Thanks…I was afraid that was going to be the answer. I’ll just add to the list….

Buy one on sale somewhere with whatever percent you want. Then buy a “cute” one with as little money as possible. Transfer the money and you have that gift.

They used to let you make custom Disney gift cards. I still have one with a picture of me in my ears at Disneyland

I wish they still did that! It made a great gift.

Another fun fact is that you can add the gift card from shopDisney to Apple Wallet for convenience, but you can’t do the same with Target Disney gift cards. So if you have a Target RedCard, get your 5% discount when you need to reload, but transfer the balance to the shopDisney card for convenience at disneygiftcard.com.

All good ideas but I really just collect them for me…lol

i do the same with Starbucks cards and use the one for whatever city I happen to be in. Yep, I’m that kind of crazy.

James, I have a card registered on disneygiftcard.com. How do I add that to Apple Wallet? I searched the site but didn't see any information on that.

Actually that needed to be elaborated a bit. If you order an e-card from shop disney when it's delivered to you there's a link to add the card to your apple wallet. Also while this is convenient the wallet does not track the actual value on the gift card. It will only ever show the initial purchase balance of the card. So any purchases or reloads to the card will not reflect in the wallet.

Ah, okay. My gift cards were physical ones that someone gave me on two different occasions. I partly used the first one and then combined its balance with the second one when I received that. So the Disney website has my accurate balance but I guess I can't get that into Apple Wallet. No biggie.

Had no clue this was a thing! Will definitely need to try this as I’m always fumbling around in my pockets trying to find the gift card and then paranoid I’m going to easily lose a couple hundred of dollars on a ride
