Disney Disappointment

March is the month of birthdays for my niece and nephew. Since we are in the US and they are in Canada, slipping money in a card and mailing it is not an option, not to mention wrapping a present and sending it. So, we decided to send them Disney gift cards as they are going to Disney World in April. I emailed Disney last month to make sure they would mail the gift cards to Canada, and they emailed back reassuring me that they would indeed mail them to Canada. So, last Friday I placed the order online and received a confirmation. Unfortunately, I received an email yesterday telling me that their legal department did not allow the gift cards to be mailed to international addresses. That's fine, but I really wish someone at Disney would have informed me of that when I originally made my inquiry, then they could have sent the gift cards to me and I would have sent them to Canada via Fed Ex. But, since my niece's birthday is the beginning of next week we had to scramble and wire money to my sister. Unfortunately, I do not think I will be shopping with Disney again.
