Disney gift cards ??? with resorts???

[Andrea]

hey guys I was thinking since we just moved closer to a mall that has a disney store in it. That i would stop and buy some gift cards whenever i have some extra money. my question is can i pay for my resorts with the gift cards?

 

[bradk]

you should be able to, yes

Just my humble opinion here..

But wouldn't it be better to just stick the extra money into an interest-bearing account? Don't most gift cards charge a certain fee after it's not being used for a while?

Yes you can, I looked into that as well.

I already asked about that gift cards with charging certain fee or what not and they dont!! we already have 2 different saving accounts and our normal checking accounts that we use. I am just buying the gift cards off of "left over change per say"

I applied four gift cards to my room at check-in last year so I know it can be done

along with the GC have you thought about getting some Disney dollars? My DD loves to use them during our stays. I think your girls will really enjoy them too!

Yes you can. I don't know why posters have to chime in with the "interest bearing account" info every single time someone brings up a gift card or Disney Dollars.

Gosh - if someone chooses to use their extra change to buy a gift card - why do so many people jump on it?

Through out the year, my kids help my mom set the table when we go there every Thursday for pasta dinner - my mom "tips" them. Well last night we took the tip jar and are going to the Disney store tomorrow to get them $223 worth of gift cards and Disney dollars.

Should that too have been in an interest bearing account? This way, the kids can see and count their money weekly and hopefully think a little harder on what purchases they will make.

OP - enjoy your new found gift card.

does the disney dollars work the same as gift cards ?

Yes. I just took some money for my DS (4) to the Disneystore and bought him some Disney Dollars to use when we go in November. I would rather him use the dollars, than a GC, because I'm afraid he will make a connection between GC and Credit cards. The longer I can keep him from those things, the better!

You know what - that is a fantastic idea. I am not getting the kids GG's for the exact reason you explained. I think it will do them much better to actually hand over their hard earned dollars to make a purchase. Than to hand over a card to be swiped. THANKS

Also, someone asked if DD's work the same as GC's and Yes they do. Disney Dollars coming in 1, 5 and 10 dollar demoninations. Your change is given to you in cold hard US dollars. Which is also nice too.
