I apologize up front if this has been asked before.... but for those of you that have bought Disney gift cards from the grocery store, (ours is Kroger). I can't buy them at the Disney Store because we don't have one near us any longer. I have a few questions that hopefully someone can answer... 
1. do they expire ? I'm thinking about maybe getting a $25 one each time I go food shopping as a "savings" for Disney. We're not going until 2013 though, so I don't want to do this if they expire.
2. can you use these gift cards when booking your reservation ? I know I can use our Disney Rewards points, but can I use a Disney gift card as payment for the hotel / dining / park tix ?
3. can you use the Disney gift cards for tips / souveniers / etc in the parks ? We're going to be on Deluxe dining plan, so if we can use these for tips, I wouldn't have to bring much cash....
4. Is there a difference in the gift cards they sell at Kroger vs. The Disney Store ? (for what you can use them on?) if you can use the Disney store cards for more things, I can just set aside the cash and buy the gift cards on the Disney website instead of getting them at the grocery store...
I think that's pretty much all that I can think of right now....TIA !!!
