Bonjour!
Welcome back to planDisney, Jen! It is great to see you back in our little corner of the internet. It looks like your family has an exciting summer ahead with a visit to
Disneyland Paris! They will have so much to experience, especially with the grand opening of
Disney Adventure World just around the corner!
I know from friends in the USA that Disney Gift Cards are a big deal, often sold at large supermarkets at discounted prices, with extra savings available at certain times of the year. They can be a great way to budget for visits to Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World, or even to pay Disney Vacation Club annual dues. Over here in Europe, however, gift cards are not quite as popular and are generally not sold at a discount. For that reason, Disneyland Paris Gift Cards are only available for purchase within the resort itself. The Business Solutions gift cards you may have seen are just for corporate use.
I know this is not the answer you were hoping for today, but let’s look at a couple of alternative options. The official currency accepted at Disneyland Paris is the Euro, so you could exchange some US dollars for Euros before your family travels. Another option would be to look into a prepaid foreign currency travel card for use in France. Just make sure it is backed by a major card provider such as Visa, Mastercard, Carte Bancaire, American Express, UnionPay International, JCB, Diners Club, Discover, or Alipay, as these are
accepted throughout the resort.
I hope this helps you plan for your family’s trip, Jen! If you have any more questions, please
reach out to me. I'd love to help!
See ya real soon!
Matt
