Disney Dollars

[Lanie]

Are Disney dollars only sold at the them parks or are they also sold at Disney stores? It's been a while since I bought any and I'm thinking it could be great gifts for the kids!

As of the last time I asked at a Disney store (about a year ago), they were only sold at the parks. And, I believe, via phone - but I recall there being a rather ridiculous shipping fee on those, so I never took advantage. You can call (407) W DISNEY to get details, I'm sure.

If that's changed in the meantime and they're in stores again, I'd love to hear about it myself!

I used to get these all the time at the Disney Store as a teenager to save for things I wanted to buy either at the store or if I had a trip upcoming.

I think now, with the easy availability of gift cards, they just use those in place of the Disney Dollars at the stores. When Disney Dollars were popular, in the 1990s, and sold in the stores there really were no electronic cards to use as gift cards.

For all the time I have been to the parks in the last 5-6 years, I have not once noticed anyone pay for something, or had anyone offer me any Disney dollars.

You can order them over the phone, according to the FAQ

When we were at the parks in January someone wanted to pay for something with them. We were talking to a cm across the shop and they CM came over and asked if they could take them and how. She was young and had never seen one before. Reminded me that we have a bunch we bought back in 98' for our son. I don't know whether to keep them or spend them, they are so cute.

My last trip to Disney World, I bought a few dollars' worth of Disney Dollars on our final day. I figured they'd be a great clue for my son to find when it was time to go back. I think I ended up with Dumbo dollars? Very, very cute. I also figured I'd keep one for a scrapbook.

Now if I could just figure out where I put them when I unpacked over a year ago.........

The Disney Stores no longer sell Disney Dollars, but you can purchase them online or at the theme parks. They aren't advertised since gift cards have become far more popular, but you buy them at guest relations at the parks and resorts.
