Disney Gift Cards

[azax456]

Just found out I can get $125 in gift cards from my credit card rewards; Disney is an option. Question is: How many places in and around the park accepts them? Say the churro vendor, do they take them? Thanks guys!

Pretty much everywhere, yes to the Churro carts

You can use them to pay off Disney hotel rooms. You can use them in World of Disney and at Marceline's in Downtown Disney (and I'm only referring to DLR, but if you're at WDW I'm sure the DTD options are more extensive). You can use them in almost any of the shops in any of the parks or at any of the hotels' shops (with the exception of a few kiosks, but not many). You can use them at almost any eating establishment - including counter service places - with the exception of a few (but only a few). You can use gift cards to order a PhotoPass CD online. You can use them at any Disney Store or at the disneystore.com site. You can use them on the Cruise ships.

Basically, almost anything within the Disney realm will take gift cards.

Everywhere that Disney, not a third party, accepts a credit card will take the gift card.

This only excludes wandering balloon sales and some carts that set up in the middle of roads, like the glowing toys that show up on paths at night. Churro carts are on the edge of paths and "plugged in"

Are you talking about a gift card you got as a result of your Chase Disney Rewards points? I'm pretty sure I've read here on this site in the past that there are only a few select restaurants in Disneyland that you can use the points on. Sounds like this has changed, or I was wrong from the beginning.

Can someone confirm that it can be used at any restaurant?

It is a Chase Rewards card but not the Disney one. I have accrued points which I can redeem for anything. They don't have Disney cards so I am buying Amazon.com cards (fewest points around) then buying Disney cards on Amazon. Should work out ok

Hmmm ~ Amazon sells Disney GCs ~ I'll have to check that out.

Now, you CAN buy a Disney GiftCard *with* a Disney Rewards card, or so tons of people have said. Don't think you can do it online anymore, but I believe you can do it while at DLR.

I can tell you that your reward points on a Disney gift card from the Chase Disney Visa can be used anywhere in the parks that has a card reader. If it takes a credit card it will take gift cards.

The above list is the list of places you can get a discount at if you pay with the actual credit card, not the reward dollars. At the stores you have to spend over 50$ then you get 10% off if you are charging it on your visa card. If you are using your reward points then you get no discount. You are not limited to the above list to spend your reward dollars.

Wow, I never knew that, oops! So much for that idea
