Disney Gift Card to pay for Dining Plan?

[DISNEYDUET]

Has anyone used a Disney gift card recently to pay for their dining plan at the resort? Or to pay for their room if they are on a cash ressie? I got gift cards for Christmas and I am hoping to use them for our meal plan.

Thanks!!!

P.S. If there is current thread about this could you please direct me to it. I only found old threads when I did a search.

I used Disney Gift Cards to pay for our dining plan at check-in. Then I also used them to pay for room charges.

It was very nice.

I have a question. Where can you buy gift cards that are able to be used at WDW, on dining and stores etc?

Thanks

Was it a gift card from The Disney Store? I think someone posted that their son was on his honeymoon and she gave him the gift card to pay for the dining plan but it was not accepted.

it was the new cards and I used them during our stay Dec 10-16, 2006.

The CM had to call and have a supervisor come help her because they had just started accepting them within the last month and she had not had any yet. It was long and slow process because she wanted to do them herself and I was very apologetic that I had so many Thank goodness there was no one in line waiting

When I went back to pay the room charges off the CM knew exactly what he was doing and it was a very speedy process!

If you're concerned just call your resort's front desk and ask them. I actually called OKW three weeks in a row before we left and kept asking. Each time they said yes, but I was paranoid and had to keep hearing it

I used a gift card I was given at Christmas this year as partial payment for our dinning plan just this last Saturday (1/6/07) at OKW. The CM wasn't sure how to process it in the computer so she disappeared for a few minutes, but when she came back she took care of it.

Does anyone know if I can use a Disney gift card to pay for park tickets or table and counter service restaurants in the parks?

We have a program at our school where you purchase gift cards from the school, the school buys them at a slight discount and splits the difference with us. They keep half of the discount for fundraising and keep the other half in an account for each family to use as a tuition discount for the next school year.

I would love to be able to purchase the gift cards a little at a time so that by the time we go next June I will have enough to cover our meals and tickets.

You can use them for tickets, meals, hotel bill. Be careful about those gift cards from the schools. It may say Disney but make sure it is the official Disney gift card. I don't know if Disney if offering them to outside vendors for fundraising or otherwise. I have a link in a few posts above this so you can see what it is all about.

Soory to leave you hanging! Yes, anywhere that will accept a credit card or room key can accept the gift card. There are some stands that are cash only. Believe me, they are cash only! Poor guy just wanted a soda for his pregnant wife and didn't understand why the CM couldn't take his meal plan! The line at the credit card was about 8 people deep and she looked like she was going to pass out. So I gave the CM a couple of bucks and the wife got her soda. Everybody wins.

We have this program at our school also. We are buying the Disney Gift Cards for our trip in July to pay for tickets and maybe even the dining plan. I love being able to have some tuition money taken off my bill for next year. It's a great program.
