New!
A central place at Disney.go.com to shop for Disney gift cards online, Disney Gift Card.com !
http://www.disneygiftcard.com/home....09@0008
You can select by: What character is on the card, the sex and age of the recipient, or occasion (birthday, wedding, Christmas, etc.). They have some that show theme park castles! They have some that have "classic" old-fashioned quaint Disney character designs or designs for seasons of the year such as winter/Christmas, celebrating a triumph, a first theme park visit, and others, including generically romantic designs. Be sure to look at ALL categories and at the bottom of the vertical menu on the left of the home page, also look at "The Vault" for even more, different, designs and occasions!
The number and variety of choices just keeps going, and going, and going! Web pages upon web pages of these!
You should be able to find a nice card for a recipient you have in mind among the literally dozens and dozens of choices. The hard part is settling on just one design, so many are cute, or for certain occasions, or for the parks.... They all look great!
Explore around to see the choices and possibilities.
From this website: Choose the gift card or cards that are right for you/your recipients. Disney will also send you a paper greeting card so you can enclose your gift card/cards within it/them when you give it/them to your recipient/recipients. Disney sends the cards to you. You order it all from the website. That's it!
DisneyStore.com sells a Mickey plush doll designed to hold a gift card, so you'd be gifting both the Disney Gift Card and the Mickey plush doll holding it for a total impact presentation. Keep that idea in mind as you shop online.
There are also links earlier in this Topic, explore those as well.
Remember: Look for if shipping is also tacked onto the cost of the card, some sites don't charge this shipping, some sites do. I bought some Disneyland cards with generic Disney designs from the Disneyland tickets website (see above for links) just a couple months ago to donate to charities that were fundraising and I wasn't charged any shipping and handling! So shop carefully if saving money this way is important to you.
Consider using as a charitable donation: If you are asked to donate to a charity, non-profit fair or festival, auction, gift-basket fundraiser, and want to donate some Disney Pixie Dust that gets people's attention, consider donating a Disney-themed gift card. These Disney gift cards do get attention, stand out as something cool and distinctive among other cards, and will attract bidders, donors, raffle basket chances, etc. Your intent will be to add a Disney gift card to, say, a placard or basket that contains a collection of other gift cards and bidders bid on the basket or placard, or to super-load one up with generosity and people can place bids or buy raffle chances to obtain that card, and the bids/chances sold are what raises money for your charity or worthy cause. Or you can create a Disney-themed gift basket with items that might include a Disney gift card, and people will bid/buy raffle chances on that and the proceeds raises money for your charity/worthy cause. Just suggestions....
Also: Keep checking the sites above as seasonal holidays come around: Christmas-Hanukah, New Year's, Valentine's Day, Easter, US Patriotic holidays such as Memorial Day and Independence Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc. At the Disneyland Gift Card website they had a Halloween-themed card with a Mickey-head-shaped pumpkin with spiders webs! If they are not offered right now, simply check back as holidays like that come up, they might be offered temporarily for only that season. Just keep checking.
Generally: Disney gift cards are accepted at the Disney theme parks and Disney-owned hotels, stores and restaurants; Disney Stores in malls, DisneyStores.com online, Disney Cruise Line. If Disney owns it, check if these are accepted. Try also online places such as Disney Photo Pass online when you get back from any of the US Disney parks, to offset photo-related purchases. If your recipient is Disney-bound or is likely to shop in Disney Stores in malls or DisneyStore.com or any other Disney-owned entity, the cards make a great versatile gift.
Just remind your recipients not to forget they have a stash of money on these cards, to not forget they have these cards! They are sitting on top of good money if they forget!
Print a reminder of the cards' terms of use, any expiration dates, and places where the cards are accepted and provide that to your recipients.
Literally oodles and oodles and oodles and oodles of cards to choose from. Just shopping from your computer, you'll have fun just browsing all the many choices! Your recipient will love whatever he/she/they receive!
As holidays and life milestone gift giving or charitable auction opportunities arise through the year, write a reminder to check this website and the others earlier on in this Topic to see if a Disney gift card is the right type of gift or donation to present.
