If you start buying up Disney gift cards now, do they have an experation date or will they be good like six months for now... I thought I could buy gift cards from now till our trip and use them for shopping money at DW..
They do not have an expiration date. They also do not charge you a fee (like some gift cards do) if you don't use them for an extended period of time.

Unless something has changed very recently, Disney gift cards cannot be reloaded on-line. They can only be reloaded in person at a Disney retail location.
Disney Visa Rewards cards CAN be reloaded with more Rewards Points, but that's a completely different thing from a regular ol' Disney Gift Card.

Just a quick note on gift cards, if you are paying off your vacation balance with gift cards to keep the cards in a safe place after your paid. If for some reason you need to cancel they just refund the gift card.
