How do the cards work? You buy them in Canadian funds I assume and then at Disney when you use them it converts to USD rate of the day? Where can you use them while in WDW?

Can you buy these a little at a time and then apply them all to your room when you get there for purchases? Or only used in the parks?
Hi, I just booked a Disney cruise for February 2020! I love the idea of using gift cards to help fund the trip! I am in a small city South of Winnipeg and can't find Disney gift cards in any of the big box stores (tried Shoppers, Sobeys, Superstore)in my city. Does anyone from Winnipeg know where I can get them (other than the Disney Store, which is on the opposite end of Winnipeg)? Preferably in the Transcona area. TIA
ETA: I found some at the Walmart in Steinbach! I guess I don't have to drive in to Winnipeg after all!!!

I know that 'technically' you cannot use PC Points (Superstore, Loblaws, Zhers, Shoppers, etc.) BUT if you have points, there is a way to purchase gift cards with points if you wish as I do it often.
To purchase a Disney gift card with PC Points, purchase other items in the store that are worth at least the value of the Disney GC you wish to purchase. In my case Superstore only carries Disney GCs in amounts of $50. To purchase one using points I purchase at least $50 worth of groceries, add in a $50 GC and at the checkout, use $50 worth of points them pay for the balance of groceries.
I have purchased a number of Disney GCs using my PC points in this manner.
Hope this is helpful to others.
Thanks! Really excited to start looking for these. Every little bit helps.
