    If I want to send my friend a Disney gift card by text message, am I able to screenshot the barcode and just send it to her?

    Hey there Mary!  Welcome to planDisney!

    You sound like such a wonderful friend, receiving a Disney Gift Card from a friend is such a kind gesture!  You could text her a photo of the gift card account number and "EAN" which is the security code for the card.  She could register the card number on the Disney Gift Card site, by clicking "Add a Card."  I have a few other suggestions for you as well!  

    If you have the luxury of time, you are able to send a Disney Gift Card by mail, and there are so many adorable designs to choose from!  The gift cards are available in denominations starting at $25, and up to $500.  It would be such a fun idea to send your friend a gift card with her favorite character or movie!

    You also are able to send her a Disney Gift Card by email, and then she would be able to use it at the theme parks, online at DisneyStore.com and so much more!  If she is heading to the Disneyland Resort, she will have the email with the gift card number on hand in case she runs into any issues during her purchase.  One of my favorite places to shop for souvenirs is the World of Disney store in the Downtown Disney District.  

    I hope this information is helpful for you, Mary!  If we can help with any other questions, please come back and ask.

    Have a magical day!
