Oh, Disney. We love you, but WOW can you be expensive!
Disney Gift Cards
You’ve already bought your park tickets, your hotel, and your plane tickets, but once you’re in the parks, there are loads of souvenirs to choose from. How do you make sure you don’t go over budget? Or maybe you’ve got someone in your family who you NEVER know what to get for their birthday, or for Christmas. We’ve got an easy way to fix these problems, and a few more — Disney gift cards. Here are 4 reasons you need to buy a Disney gift card before your next trip!
Shop For the IMPOSSIBLE Gift Receiver
It’s happening again — your friend or a family member has their birthday coming up, or it’s the holidays again, and you have zero clue what to get them. Maybe they already seem to have everything they want, or they’re just the most difficult person to shop for.
If they’re a Disney fan, a gift card is a great choice.
Who wouldn’t love Mickey saying Happy Birthday?
A Disney gift card allows your loved one to choose their own gift, even from the comfort of their own home. These gift cards can be used online and in Disney World, so it won’t matter if they’re 2 or 200 miles away from the parks!

Set a Budget For Your Upcoming Trip
If you’ve got a trip coming up and you’re worried about going over your allotted souvenir or snack budget, you can grab a Disney gift card to set the amount ahead of time!

This way, when the card is out of money, it’s out, so you don’t go over budget! Just make sure you keep track of how much you’re spending — that way you don’t go to buy something only to realize you don’t have enough left for it and have to go through the heartbreak of putting it back.

Help Teach Your Kids the Importance of Budgeting
We’re sure lots of you have been there — you’re on your trip and your kids love everything they see. But how do you know what they really love and what they would play with for two minutes before forgetting about it? If your kids are old enough, you can give them a Disney gift card to handle themselves to help them learn about the importance of decision-making, buying, and budgeting!

This is extra helpful because if your kid goes a little spending-crazy at first, Disney will allow returns of most merchandise bought that same day if you take it back to any Disney store with a receipt. This is a great way to give your kids some freedom, while also teaching an important lesson at the same time!

Surprise Your Loved One With a Trip to Disney
Disney gift cards are also a way to do all of the above, AND surprise your loved one with a Disney trip!

We can see it now — you give your loved one a Disney gift card and they assume it’s just for online use. But no, then you tell them they can use it inside Disney World itself because a trip has already been booked (or will be booked soon)! Talk about one of the greatest gifts ever.

Now what to buy with your Disney gift card? Well, we’ve got lots of snacks we can recommend, or you could spend it on an unforgettable dinner at one of Disney World’s greatest table service restaurants. Or maybe you plan to spend it on all your favorite merchandise. Whatever you choose, do it your way, and stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news!

Ordinarily I love & use Disney gift cards but was seriously burned in our last trip! Had saved MANY cards (over $3,000 worth) because of a Covid delayed trip only to find over $400 worth of cards were useless. Obviously I didn’t save every receipt from collecting the past 3yrs but it was very disheartening. Have heard of others having problems consequently I won’t buy again.
If you grab a Disney gift card at BJs wholesale (maybe Sams Club and Costco have this too), it’s like getting a 4% discount while you cruise the parks.
WE love Disney GC’s but our most favorite things were Disney Dollars, wow – those really teach kids impact of money vs using plastic, bring back Disney Dollars 🙂
