Are there any restaurants on property that do not accept Disney gift cards?

Good morning! We are heading down in a week and in the past we have always just charged to the room and paid it off in cash or gift card every couple days. But with the new credit card hold policy we have decided to keep our magic band charging to the pool bar and for when our teens want to break off and grab a snack here and there. Although I'm sure it would be fine, I know my obsessive self would be constantly checking my cc balance for holds the whole time we are down there..which I don't want to have to deal with during April break lol.

We decided to use gift cards for our ADRs and are trying to estimate about what we will need. Has anyone run into a restaurant that didn't accept the gift cards? If it helps, we are dining at..


Sanaa Lunch
Plaza Breakfast
Raglan Rd Dinner
LeCellier Dinner
Yak and Yeti Lunch
Mama Melrose Dinner
Paddlefish Lunch
La Hacienda Dinner
 
Unfortunately I’m not aware of an official list. I’m not aware of any place on the dining plan that can’t take gift cards. (I have heard that the Swan/Dolphin don’t take them, and I believe the independent food booths on the Boardwalk don’t take the gift cards)

The places you list in park and resort would be no problem. I’m less certain about Disney Springs locations.

The Disney Visa rewards card is almost the same as a Disney Gift Card (it’s not a more generic Visa gift card) and does show specific locations:

Adding in to the informative post above I haven't eaten at any place at Disney Springs that doesn't accept the Disney gift cards yet.
So far it's been accepted by WP, WBG, both Morimoto eateries, RR, Paddlefish, Boathouse, Vivoli Gelato, Sprinkle's, and that's all I can think of for the moment.

Chicken Guy did not take them, or in November they didn't take them. Delux Burger did take them.
 
All i know is EVERY place in the parks and resorts DO. Some snack carts may not..we always pay cash for that..
