Hi Nicole! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney.
I'm sorry you forgot your
Disney Gift Card at home when you visited the parks. Mistakes do happen when we're scurrying around, packing for a holiday, I've learned through experience. I hope it didn't adversely affect your time in the parks. The Disney Gift Card is accepted as payment for much of the food, beverage, and merchandise available in the parks, which is really convenient and makes it an excellent gift for folks you know who are headed there on holiday!
However, it's not the only way to
use your card, so never fear. For example, Disney Gift Cards can be used as payment toward
admission ticket purchases and your
Disneyland Resort Hotel stays. So, one option is to hold on to that card until you're ready to book your next visit! What's better than knowing you have another holiday waiting for you on the horizon? Planning is a good portion of the fun for me. And if you're worried about the value of the card decreasing or disappearing in the meantime, I have good news for you: According to the current terms of sale, your Disney Gift Card won't expire. Isn't that great?
Another option is
shopDisney, which conveniently
ships most items on the site to Canada. You don't need a physical store nearby to enjoy Disney shopping anytime you like. I love picking up gifts for birthdays and holidays from shopDisney. I recently went a little wild celebrating our love of Star Wars and Season of the Force, picking out merchandise online for the whole family. And conveniently, Disney Gift Cards are accepted as payment on shopDisney too.
Have a magical day.
Elizabeth
