A Bit about Disney Gift Cards

(Redeemable at DisneyStore.com, Disney Store locations in the US, participating locations at Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida, Disneyland® Resort in California, Disney Cruise Line®, ClubPenguin.com, and DisneyPhotoPass.com). You can also use the Disney Store Gift Cards as a form of payment for Disneyland® Resort vacation packages by calling the Walt Disney Travel Company California at 1-866-470-5119.

DisneyStore.com Online Gift Cards are good at DisneyStore.com ONLY, and a credit card is required when placing an order using a Disney Store Online Gift Card.
