The charming voice informs one that the 'Disney magic' happens Monday to Saturday.
On Saturday I ordered on line and paid for next day delivery. It didn't arrive on Monday - surely that was the next working day according to the charming voice? Having spoken to a member of staff at the Disney store, I should have scrutinised terms and conditions, under deliveries section etc..., I didn't, I took it in good faith; I now know that orders placed on a Saturday won't arrive until Tuesday. Before you deal with this company DO check the small print.

I ordered a gift card for my daughter--she's going to Disney World and I though it'd be nice to give her a little extra spending money. I wanted it in time for Easter, so I looked at their page that stated what dates you needed to order by, depending on shipping method. I paid $15 extra for 2-day shipping. Well, I never got a shipping confirmation, so I called them, and was told gift cards take an extra 3-4 days to process. NOWHERE ON THEIR SHIPPING SCHEDULE DOES IT SAY THIS! So, obviously, I won't have my order in time for Easter. Will NEVER order from them again.

Terrible service
December 17, 2014

Terrible service. I ordered over 10 days ago and they can't tell me when they will get to my order. They don't care about the customer. I have ordered from about 10 other websites on the same day or after and I have already gotten the merchandize. I used to get items from them every year, not again.

Terrible service
December 12, 2014

Terrible service- Never again
I have ordered a number of items on November 28th (not personalised) which have still not arrived. After sending 3 e-Mails and Talking to 4 different Customer Service advisors all I heard was: "i can only tell you what the delivery company tells us, I Hope your order arrives"
Really annoyed, didn't get my order for my sons birthday and can't know if it even arrives before Christmas at all. They are horrible, a lot of attitude and no real help.
Oh yes I got a free delivery code... well that makes me feel much better. Don't buy from there as no one is willing to help you if there is a problem. Oh of course they happily took my money straight away and I'm sure it will be anything but a walk in the park trying to get it back

"Horrible experience ordering online. I ordered 2 personalized books from the website. I ordered them on November 17. I completely understand that they are personalized so they will take a little time to produce. The website said 3-4 weeks. Plenty of time to have by Christmas, I thought. On November 29 I got notice that my card had been charged and my items had shipped and my order was closed. Amazing! I thought. That was quick. So here we are, December 11 and I still haven't received the items. I called to ask for a tracking number or anything to see if it's lost in the mail. They don't have one. They told me I'm within the 3-4 week window so I can't even file a missing item. December 17 will be too late to have these in time for Christmas. I'm not so much upset at the time frame if the items do indeed show up, but it's ridiculous that the item has "shipped" two weeks ago and I STILL don't have it. I'm totally upset and the "magical" people answering the phone can do nothing to help. I will never order from Disney store online again!"

I AM WRITING IN REGARD TO THE NONEXISTENT ON LINE STORES CUSTOMER SERVICE. IT TRULY IS THE UNHAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH. IF WALT DISNEY WAS ALIVE THERE IS NO WAY THIS WOULD BE ONGOING. I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANY RETAIL, CREDIT CARD CO. S NO PLACE WHERE THE CAST MEMBERS ARE SO RUDE, AND TOTALLY UNCARING. I FEEL LIKE THEY FEEL IT IS A HUGE IMPOSITION TO HELP YOU. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM LOOK OUT. THEY WILL TAKE YOUR HEAD OFF. ARGURE WITH YOU. MAKE UP STUFF AS YOU GO. THE SITE ADVERTISED PROMOTIONS WITH CODES NEVER WORK. YOU WILL GET SCREWED OVER AND KICKED TO THE CURB... THEY ALREADY HAVE YOUR MONEY. BUYER BEWARE...

I'd give no stars if it were possible. No confirmation number was sent and 1 of 2 of my shipment was lost and the other damaged. Items are NOT packaged well. NEVER AGAIN DISNEY. YOU HAVE LOST MY BUSINESS FOREVER.

I placed and order on 3/18/13 and received notification that it shipped on 3/20. On 3/31, I called to investigate where my items were and they told me that my items were lost and that I could no longer receive any of the items because they were no longer in stock. All they did for my troubles, which mind you was not even to notify me that they lost my items, was tell me they will e-mail me a $20 coupon for a future order. Completely unacceptable way to handle a business and I would recommend never shopping on the website!

I love the online sales and clearance items. They ship fast and accurately each time I've ordered thus far.

SLOW SHIPPING!
February 12, 2014

SLOW SHIPPING! Did not ship for 7 business days. Did NOT recieve merchandise in 5-7 days as promised. Now items that were ordered in time for valentenies according to there website will not arrive until 2 business day after Valentines day. Customer service was rude and just doesn't care. The Disney Store has turned into a joke. NOTHING MAGICAL HERE!

I made an order and when it arrived there was an item missing. The box was damaged and I rang and asked for help. Customer services were most unhelpful and said I to photograph the items I had received? Customer services then said I had to wait until they investigated and contacted couriers before they could help me further. Eventually they did send me the missing item but not in time for my grandaughters birthday.

I purchased an item, they charged my credit card, and sent me an email that my item had shipped. When the UPS tracking link that they sent me hadn't worked after 3 days I contacted them and they told me the item was unavailable. Terrible customer service!

1. When you enter your rewards card or gift card on the Disney.com web page you are only allowed to enter one card. To enter a second card, you have to call a number. Disney must never have run into people who have multiple children who both get Gift cards for Xmas.

2. When you enter a gift card or reward card the disneystore.com web page does not tell you how much your gift card deducted from your order. You need to track that and make sure your Credit Card is charged the correct amount.

3. If you have a disney credit card beware. You are only allowed one reward card per order on the Disneystore.com. However they dont tell you this anywhere.In fact, I placed my order, called in the second reward card, then a couple days later I got notice that I was only allowed to use on Card per order. It would have been nice when I called in the second card if I would have been told that information. But when you give them the numbers, the person must not know you cannot use more than one rewards card since I was not told that information.
Disney recently updated the Its a small world ride in Florida, maybe they should also update the Disneystore web page. I think they were built in the same year.

I would not buy gift cards from Disney family members.

I ordered some dolls on this website and all was handled well. After placing the order, the package was send in time and there were email updates about progress. I did not need to contact customer support, so my rating does not reflect support.
