So, to make sure we don't spend our spending money before our trip, I'm putting the money onto a Disney gift card. I was about to click to finish the transaction on the Disney World site where there is a small selection and a $5 shipping charge when I thought to check the Disney Store. Turns out buying a gift card through the Disney Store site has no shipping charge and a TON of options! Anyone know why the difference?
If anything this is a heads up for people wanting to buy them going forward.
Sometimes all you need is a reminder that out there lies a better place... a better world... a Walt Disney World.

Oh yeah I mean I know they aren't any different. Just was blown away that by doing it through one site you had like 5 choices and had to pay $5 for shipping but another site was over 100 choices and free shipping. It's one of those ways Disney can find a way to get just that little bit more from ya.

Disney World and Disney Stores are two different companies. That could be the reason.Originally Posted by BamaJenn
