Disney Visa

[voleball]

I was reading through the Disney Visa Reward card info and found that there are very limited WDW restaurants are participating the program. I was planning to use my reward dollars as my "free" dining plan but it looks like less than half of dinning locations I am planning to eat are participating. Is this list correct? The site says "most popular" locations and doesn't say "all"...

Does anyone have any experiences using the reward card at locations that are not listed?

The list you posted the link for are the "Most Popular Disney Rewards Redemption Locations".

We have used our rewards card at a lot of locations not listed there.

You can use reward dollars at ANY Disney location.

We charge everything to our room. Toward the end of our vacation we go to the front desk with the rewards card and use it to pay off (all or some) our charges. We do this we gift cards and disney dollars instead of using them each day. We just use them to pay off our bill. It seems we always owe them more than we budgeted for.

Great!!! Good to know. I feel better now.

I was told you can use them at a lot of places. I am.

I agree with the PP, to get the most bang for your Disney Buck, use your room key and charge everything to your room. You can get a print-out nightly from the Front Desk showing all your charges. Then settle-up whenever you want BUT you must settle-up at least the night BEFORE you check out or they will charge your credit card on file. They can back it out but it is a bit of a hassle.

You can use reward dollars at ANY Disney location.

You can use the Rewards dollars at any WDW resort or park at any store or restaurant that accepts Visa. Thus, they can't be used at the Swan and Dolphin restaurants (but can be used at the gift shops in those hotels, which are operated by Disney) and they can't be used at some of the temporary carts that show up in the parks. But, they can be used everywhere else.

You can use your Disney Rewards just about everywhere
The only place I was told no was at one of the DTD restaurants four years ago.

Thank you SO much for this info I was about to ask this same question (just didn't know where to post it). This is what I wanted to do on our trip, thanks again!

We used our for tips at every Disney restaurant for our last two trips. No problems at all.

We've never been turned down at a TS or CS in Disney Resorts or Theme Parks. The only place we couldn't use it was at the funnel cake place right outside of the American Paviliion in Epcot WS.
