Question on Disney Gift Cards

[tx2tn]

Appologies if this is not in the right catagory.

Can I purchase a Disney Gift Card online? Are they good at the Swan Dolphin Resorts? How about the Mandara Spa at Dolphin?

Do all the food and gift venders in the Disney Parks accept them?

Finally, can I get a printout accounting of everywhere we used it??

1. Yes - Disneyshopping.com
2. Swan/Dolphin - don't know.
3. Almost all locations and carts take them, there are a few isolated ones that don't.
4. Not that I ever heard of. If you charge to your KTTW card, you can get that kind of itemized bill from your resort.

I've heard if you buy a GC through the Disneyland website, the shipping is free. If you buy it somewhere else, you get charged for shipping. Not sure if this is still true.

I use it for all my small purchases, and works out great so I'm not carrying a bunch of change around by the end of the day.
You can't get a printout of usage, so you will have to save all your receipts, which will give you the balance everytime you use it.

disneyshopping.com does not charge shipping on the gift cards. You can not use it at the Swan/Dolphin since they are not Disney hotels. As others have said you can not get a detailed print out but you can charge to your room key if staying on site then just go down and pay with the gift card.

Be careful which card you purchase from Disneyshopping.com. There is one card that is only good for Disneyshopping.com.

To buy a Disney Gift Card online, go to www.disneygiftcard.com

Disney Gift Cards cannot be anywhere in the Swan and Dolphin; the hotels and all of the venues inside them are not Disney-owned, and therefore do not accept Disney Gift Cards or Disney Dollars.

Disney Gift Cards are accepted at any Disney-owned venue in the parks, resorts, and Downtown Disney that is equiped with an electronic card reader. This includes shops, stores, stationary carts (not mobile carts or vendors), restaurants, eateries, food courts, and stationary food or drink carts, pin stations, ticket sales windows, and resort front desks.

There is noplace to get a printout of what you've bought with the Disney Gift Card, but the remaining balance will be printed on the reciept each time you buy something.

* NOTE:

If you are staying at a WDW resort, you can use the Disney Gift Card as a deposit to enable the charging feature on your room key. If you do this, you can get a printout of everything you charge on the room key at any time form the front desk. Any unspent balance left on the card will be refunded to you in cash when you check out.
