Greetings Pete!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thanks for asking a double-barreled question. I will be happy to help with both!
First, about Disney Gift Cards - aren’t they awesome?! I think it’s great that you can use them nationwide to pay for dining and merchandise, or even towards resort stays. With the abundance of online shopping options, Disney Gift Cards are very popular in our house! And yes, you can conveniently transfer card balances from one Disney Gift Card to another. This can be done on the Disney Gift Card website. Click “Manage Cards” and then “Transfer Balance.” You can transfer amounts up to $1000, but don’t forget that each card’s maximum balance is $1000.
Second, Disney Vacation Club. It too is awesome! Disney Vacation Club is a flexible timeshare that allows you to decide when, where, and how you vacation. You can choose from Disney Destinations to a Mediterranean cruise, to an Adventures by Disney expedition to Peru! I love that you are not locked into the same place at the same time of year; instead, you can explore the Wonders of the World with a magical Disney touch!
One of the great bonuses of membership are the exclusive Member Benefits. They are ever-changing, but include discounts on dining and merchandise, access to private events and more! To learn more about Disney Vacation Club membership, please enjoy a free video here. It can be sent to your home, or you can watch it online.
Pete, I hope to “Welcome you Home” soon!
