I think you need to call to do this, but i'm not 100% sure but i really doubt they would turn down your money! You can just give them the number on the gift cards.How can I pay a RO reservation in advance?
Unfortunately you cannot order the physical US dollar Gift Card online to be shipped to Canada. Because I didn't want an e-gift card I just went into Toronto yesterday to purchase gift cards at a Disney store in Canadian funds and the recipients will get whatever it's worth in American money at the time of exchange at WDW in April.If you're trying to hedge against a dropping Canadian dollar, you'd be better off buying USD denominated gift cards at https://www.disneygiftcard.com/. Of course you'll pay a bank (or credit card) rate on the conversion now, but if the Canadian dollar does drop further, you'll still be better off.
That said, IMO currency forecasting is a fool's game. If you just want the best possible exchange rate at the time of your purchase, these Disney gift cards look to be a pretty good option, especially if you don't already have a credit card that offers zero forex markup. In that case though, what the Canadian dollar is doing today or next week or even during your trip is irrelevant. You might win or lose on the exchange rate compared to today's rate, but you'll always save the bank's 2.5% forex markup.
Dang and we just spent $225 on giftcards at the Disney Store yesterdayGood News! According to a post on RFD, Shoppers Drug Mart is going to have a gift card deal - Spend $200 or more on 2+ giftcards, get 8000 Optimum points. Starting November 4th.

Anyone see them in the Calgary area?
Lol yeah hoping to find them to score bonus points too. Lol really it won't matter we will use our USD MasterCard anyways but thought if I could I might get one for my daughter for spending moneyNo luck yet, but I’ve only checked a couple places in the far NW. I keep meaning to check the Shoppers downtown, but haven’t had a chance yet. I want to find them at Sobeys, Safeway or Co-op so that I can get 4X the points on my CC (on purchases at grocery stores).
If you just want to pick them up, any of the local Disney Stores have them now.
I’ll let you know if I find any the next few weeks. We head south in three weeks, so I want to find them before then.Lol yeah hoping to find them to score bonus points too.
