How long for Disney gift cards to ship?

[mirage0306]

I hope I didn't just make a huge mistake.

Yesterday I ordered a gift card from the Disney store for our upcoming trip (a week from Saturday). I figured it was Wed. and since we had over a week, all would be fine. We don't have a Disney store nearby, so I couldn't go in to get one.

Anyway, it hasn't shipped yet. So I am hoping we aren't going to come back from our trip to find a lovely Disney gift card in the mail Though it would be a good start to saving for our next trip

So, anyone have experience on Disney store gift card shipping times?

Thanks!!

ETA: I know you can get GCs at Target, but I was attempting to not bring a zillion $50 GCs with me.

It can take 7-10 business days. It will be pretty close, I hope you get it just in time.

I'll keep my fingers crossed! I wonder if I can call them in the am and if it hasn't shipped, have them send it to the Poly instead? Hmm.

Thanks!

It's never going to make it.

I called the Disney Store this morning and the representative put in a request to have it shipped to our resort instead. No guarantees, of course. I should know in a couple of days if it's able to be shipped there.

Moral of the story: Do NOT order a Disney Gift card less than two weeks out! Or three, for that matter. Let me be a lesson to you all

I ordered mine on the 7 of July and got my card on the 11. Hope that helps your nerves.

Wow--really!? Ours hasn't even shipped yet. I wonder if yours was from an outside vendor? Ours is and that is causing the delay, I think.

I am REALLY hoping now that it at least makes it to the resort. Ugh.

ETA: Called back and rep said by 23rd/24th, so that's fine.

Did you buy it from the Disney store online site? I always have those within a week.

 

[mirage0306]

I did! But it's been two days still apparently hasn't even shipped. I'll remain hopeful, though!!

I'm not going to stress. I just should have given myself more time. Lesson learned.

I ordered mine on June 30, they shipped on July 3, and arrived on July 6.
