Any tips for traveling with many Disney gift cards?

[Eighty8Keys]

Just received an email from Disney Vacation Account. It seems to imply that you can get more than 1 $500 gift card. Which would be great for anyone not wanting to travel with so many $50 gift cards. Good luck. I just applied for refund of both DVA accts because I was worried about them,again, messing with my 1 and only $500 gc. I thought I was going to end up with no money, eating ketchup and onion lettuce wraps at Cosmic Ray's fixings bar.

This is part of email.
2. A sentence in Paragraph 2 regarding Disney Gift Cards is changing. The change is shown below:
When your Account has been open for 120 60days or more, you can also use the value in your Account to purchase Disney Gift Cards by calling (407) 939-7734.
If you have any questions, please call us at 407-939-7734.

I received this email too and I noticed that it referred to Disney Gift Cards, implying more than one. However, I'm guessing that this refers to the section of the FAQ's where it says you can request a Disney Gift Card in an amount ranging from $5 minimum to $500 maximum and that during the life of your account no more than $500 total can be requested in Disney Gift Cards. So, you could request five $100 gift cards, but once you reach the $500 lifetime maximum, you're out of luck. I with they would lift this restriction. I'm not sure what they have to gain by limiting it. We can only spend this money at Disney, so why make it more difficult than it needs to be.

That's likely why the button is still active; you can request multiple gift cards, but only up to a limit.

That's how I read it too, and also how I feel about it.

When I got the email, I had momentary excitement that they were dropping the 120 day requirement to 60 days on earning the spend $1k get $20 GC. Drats!

"Put Your Balance onto a Disney Gift Card
After you've booked your vacation, you can put any remaining balance from your Disney Vacation Account on a Disney Gift Card (subject to a maximum of $1,000 every 90 days) . You can use your Disney Gift Card to make purchases at select locations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line and Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawai'i. Your Disney Vacation Account must be active for a minimum of 60 days in order to place any account balance towards a Disney Gift Card. Request your Disney Gift Card(s) 4-6 weeks in advance of your vacation date to allow time for delivery to your mailing address. See FAQs for complete details."
