Greetings, Lori, and welcome to
planDisney!
What a thoughtful and generous gesture it is to be gifting someone a
Disney Gift Card – how lucky for them, Lori! As a fellow Canadian Disney fan, and avid Disney Gift Card user, it would be my honour to assist you further. Allow me to express my great appreciation for your patience in waiting for my response, thank you kindly!
Lori, you are welcome to visit Canadian Tire, Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, Best Buy, some grocery store chains, or Shopper’s Drug Mart to purchase your Disney Gift Card. The funds for the gift card will be in Canadian dollars. When your recipient begins to use the gift card at
Disneyland Resort, there will be a conversion to the US dollar equivalent based on the previous day’s closing rate and there will not be a Foreign Currency Fee when activating the Disney Gift Card at the point of redemption like there would be when using a typical credit card (subject to change). Therefore, because of the no Foreign Currency Fee, many Guests opt to purchase their gift cards in Canada in Canadian funds and then deal with the currency conversion at the point of redemption. Kindly refer to the
Disney Gift Card Terms and Conditions – Canada for details as terms and conditions are subject to change.
I am a big fan of the
Disney Gift Card eGift method because it’s very simple to arrange. Once you purchase the eGift, in US funds, you will be able to forward your purchase confirmation email to your recipient, who will be able to add the eGift to their digital wallet on their mobile device by using the
Add to Wallet link in the email. Re-loading the eGift card is a simple process via the Disney Gift Card website once your recipient creates an account.
Tip:Let your recipient know that they can add the Disney Gift Card as payment after they’ve completed their
Mobile Food & Beverage Order on the
Disneyland App – it’s a great way to save time ordering food in advance, and it’s contactless too! The Disneyland App offers many helpful features to add convenience to a theme park visit.
Lori, it was my great pleasure assisting you today, please stop by to ask me for any more first-hand tips and advice – thank you so much!
Best Disney Wishes from Ontario!
