Disney Dollars

[katybugsmom]

Hey everyone!
We are planning a trip to WDW in June and my DD9 has started saving spending money. She has a terrible habit of spending money as fast as she gets it. I thought if I gave her Disney Dollars for her allowance until then she could easily earn a good bit without spending it somewhere else. If for some reason we can't go does anyone know if I can turn Disney Dollars in for regular dollars or would we have to keep them?
Thanks!!!!!

You can use them at your local Disney store if for some reason you are unable to go.

I'm doing that with my dd. She feels the need to spend her money as soon as she gets it. I already told the kids they were responsible for their own purchases at WDW so they need to stat saving now. My dd will have all her money spent before we go so I'm giving disney dollars so she can't spend it anywhere else

I always buy Disney dollars long before we go just as a way to save up spending money without dropping a lot of money while we are there. Plus I charge them on my Disney Visa and get rewards points too!!

Where do you buy your Disney Dollars? I also have a DD who can not save for nothing, this would be great for her.

I found some "play" Disney dollars on the DISign forum. I printed those off on paper and have been giving them to my kids. Right before we leave I will take them to the Disney store to exchange for "real" Disney Dollars.

You can buy real Disney dollars at the Disney Store. You can also order them via fax but I think they charge a hefty fee to mail them out.

I have started buying them for my kids for special occasions. I will be heading to the Disney store to pick up a few more to put into their Easter baskets. Even the Easter Bunny likes to hand them out!!
