Does anyone have experience using Disney gift cards at the new stores in Disney Springs? I'm particularly interested in whether or not the Sperry store accepts them.
I have found that if it's Disney owned or operated, then gift cards should be okay.
If not, then usually not. Most that don't accept Disney gift cards won't allow charging back to the room either (only exception is a spa (mandara spa) that's on hotel property.
I haven't been to the new area but I can't imagine how a Sperry store not affiliated with Disney at all would accept a Disney gift card. I could see where they might in the future but that would required an agreement between the stores and Disney and that could cause problems with other locations of a particular store outside of Disney Springs (not counting Outlet locations of a store though). Just my personal thoughts though never say never
My first thought was, they should! But being how many specialty shops there are that are non-Disney owned, I have a feeling they won't take them. Should be interesting which ones do and don't.
