Hello Matthew, and welcome to planDisney!
As the current British Mum here at planDisney, I am absolutely able to fully relate to your great question concerning the online purchase of
Disney eGift Cards from the US-based shopDisney.com.
What a thoughtful friend you are Matthew, to be so kind as to want to gift your Disney-loving pal a
Disney eGift Card to spend during their upcoming jolly holiday at
Walt Disney World Resort. I know from my own past experience that Disney Gift Cards really are practically perfect in every way for use at the most magical place on earth.
However, I'm truly sorry to have to share that at this time, the US-based
shopDisney.com doesn't ship, even via email to the United Kingdom. This of course helps to explain why the UK is not currently listed as a delivery option.
However, as an alternative Matthew, why not gift your dear friend with some US dollars to spend on whatever their heart desires at Walt Disney World Resort?! I'm sure you'll already know that foreign currency can be easily ordered from most high street banks or indeed from the Post Office. Plus, it's always possible for your friend to exchange those $$s for a physical Disney Gift Card upon arrival at Walt Disney World Resort as Disney Gift Cards are stocked in almost every
merchandise store on Disney property.
If you have any further questions concerning a magical visit to Walt Disney World Resort, then please do feel free to pop along back to me here at planDisney! I'm always happy to help wherever possible.
Have a great Disney day ~ Jane
