Disney Gift Card

[Honeymoon2004]

I went into our local Disney store at the mall this past weekend and saw that they have Disney gift cards which can be used at Disney restuarants and stores. Has anyone had a problem with these or are they good as cash.

DH and I have been saving change all year and what we are going to do is cash it in right before our trip (9/10/06) and put it towards one of these cards so we can buy goodies. We figured what a good way to treat ourselves.

Thanks.

I wish they had a list of what shpos and restaurants accept the GFC. The GFC website isn't to specific. I want to know about the Rose & Crown and the Sci-Fi.

just make sure its for the wdw parks, there are also regular disney gift cards which are good for the disney store & catalog only. we gave a wdw parks gift card to my great aunt who did have an issue using the card as only certain stores & restaurants take the card but she was able to get the gift she wanted at the mousegear epcot store.

The gift cards that are now available at the Disney Stores are good for WDW, DL, DCL, the Disney Stores and online. They no longer have the "store only" gift cards. I've already started saving for my October trip with the new gift card!

I still have a store gift card that's about a year old. Do they still except them?

I'm wondering if you eventually lose money on these if they're not used within a specified time period??? I know we've had this problem with regular store and mall gift cards, that since they weren't used within a specified amount of time we lost money on the cards. Does anyone know about this??

You might wish to purchase Disney Dollars which can be used throughout WDW.

we have one to and it good on dining and shopping i was told

Can you use them to pay your hotel bill? Because then I could charge everything to the room and pay it off with the card.

We had been giving my gandson(4) pocket change for awhile, we just rolled it all up last week, and I went to the Disney store and got him Disney Dollars to spend at WDW. He thought that was pretty cool!

According to the website they are unable to be used for paying off your room. http://disney.go.com/disneygiftcard/index.html

The Disney Gift Card will not lose value if it's not used....Basically, if you add funds to the card, they'll be there forever & ever or until you use them.

Thanks for letting me know!

we were told we can only use for dining and shopping
we also asked about putting it on our room key and we told no

Have you thought of this alternative?
I love Disney Dollars. You use it like cash and get actual cash back. It makes it easy to budget or to give kids "X" amount per day.
I purchased some as gifts for other people's trips and used it on my trip. Last trip we were on the dining plan so all of that was paid off before we left and I had my Disney Dollars for extra snacks and spending money. I was able to police my spending because I tend to go crazy.
And you can pick up small amounts as you have the cash.

Have a great trip.
