Hi Stephen! Welcome back to planDisney!
What a thoughtful gift you are planning! I can't think of anything better to add an extra touch of magic to an already magical vacation than to receive a
special gift from a dear friend. They will be so surprised!
The best way that I know to send a
Disney Gift Card while someone is currently vacationing at the Walt Disney World Resort is on shopDisney. If you
send a gift card from the website (I've linked it for you here), it can be sent to their email and they will receive an email with their gift card in electronic form so they can use it right away. Although it isn't specifically a dining gift card, Disney Gift Cards can be used at the same locations as the dining gift cards and the recipients can use it just the same!
You will need the email address of the recipient. When you purchase it, you may want to also text the person you are sending it to so they know to check their email. They are on vacation after all and may not be checking their email regularly!
I hope this helps, Stephen! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
