Marathon Weekend 2026

SAFD: Lock, Shock, and Barrel on the course would be INCREDIBLE.

My favorite character interactions are the ones where I am dressed as the character (especially when it’s not even on race theme so it’s a surprise!). I have had this with Peter Pan and Piglet during MW 2025. I am also a sucker for taking a photo with the animal outside DAK during the marathon.
 
It appears that Sam's Club is going to have a DGC "sale" going from 11/7-9 where you can get a $200 DGC for $180, limit of 4. These are e giftcards, not physical giftcards.
Dumb question…How does this work with being ecards? Are they easy to use and what do you use them for?

What I do is go add them to my Disneygiftcard.com account. I can either then apply the Disney gift card to something I am paying for online, or I can transfer the money to a physical Disney gift card that I already own.
This is what we do as well. In addition to this, we keep a spare empty physical GC in a wallet so that if we happen to misplace our GC that has money on it, we can just use the app to move the money.

Pro tip: if you can find a DGC with a QR code on the back instead of the barcode, you won't have to enter the 16-digit code every time you pay for something through the app (such as when you mobile order food or do mobile checkout at the expo or store that offers it.)

I do the same though living in Canada and having to deal with currency conversion I use my GC primarily for hotel deposits - that way I don’t get hit with double the conversion rates when I change/ cancel reservations. I also use the GC for Genie+ purchases. Anything through the My Disney app is really easy to use GC for.
