Pre-purchasing Disney Dollars ?

[donna in Oz]

Is it possible to purchase Disney dollars at a Disney store or on-line prior to our trip?

The stores are no longer offering them. Last Sunday was the last day. You can only buy gift cards at the stores now. You can still get disney dollars at the parks.

Yes, sadly the Disney store does not sell them anymore I was able to pick up some for my kids upcoming trip before they stopped selling them this past weekend. I did come up with this info that you can get them through mail order but you have to pay $10.00 for shipping and handling:

Order Disney Dollars by mail
Purchases by mail are available through Ticket Mail Order at:
Disneyland Resort

I know! I bought 100 in ones last Saturday just to have them for future trips!!

Thanks! Looks like we need to decide if it's worthwhile to order by mail, or just purchase on arrival.

I am so sad. I didn't know this. I had planned on taking my kids allowance money the end of November and getting their dollars as a big surprise as to our upcoming trip that they don't know about.

Any advice on the giftcard note then? I wonder if getting them a giftcard would be a good idea? Kids don't realize dollar amounts on plastic though. I am just so so sad.

You could make up your own.

My just-turned 5 year old did VERY well with the birthday FunCard, which is a giftcard. I was shocked at how well he did with it, how he kept track and knew when it was almost "empty"...we did help him, of course, but I never would have thought he would do that well with something as abstract as a giftcard.

It will be how we budget his spending from now on.
