Do these places take Disney Gift Cards?

[Shreggor]

I’m going to WDW in 2 days and planning to use the $300 Disney gift card from the promo for the vast majority of my meals.

Unfortunately, I have scoured the web, and the disney gift card site looking for a list of places that are and aren’t owned by WDW to plan my budget…

Here is where I am planning to eat (and how I am planning to pay for each). My parents are giving me $$ to cover my two most expensive meals as a late Xmas gift to my fiance & I.

Yakitori House (Japanese counter service) – gift card
Sci Fi – gift card
Yak & Yeti – gift card
Marrakesh – gift card
Tony’s Town Square – gift card
Jiko – cash
Shula’s – cash

Will the gift card be taken at these places?

A CM told me the GC was available at all Epcot restaurants but I found out today Teppan Edo is not owned by Disney, or the Italian place…and neither of them take the GC.

I really wish there was a way to find out before I got there because it will alter my plans or my budget if not…

So how do I find out for sure?

The only 2 that stand out as possibly NOT taking a Disney card are:

Shula's - doubt they would, they are a Starwood hotel.
Yak and Yeti - I know they don't participate in Tables in Wonderland, and they are not Disney owned.

The others I *think* would be okay - they are all Disney owned, AFAIK.

Thanks,

Can anyone confirm Y&Y? I was so looking forward to that but will have to cancel if they do not take the GC.

My assumption is that you can use the gift card to pay for your room charges. (I used my Disney Rewards card to pay for room charges during my birthday trip.) I know Yak & Yeti and Teppan Edo allow you to charge your meal to the room, so if they don't take the gift card, pay your balance with the gift card at check out.

That is a great idea! Thanks!

I just checked the disney gift card web site and they are accepted at the resort for charges on your key to the world card.

I wanted to update everyone that Yak & Yeti did, in fact, take the gift card. I did not attempt it at Shula's so I don't know about that one. But Y&Y in AK definately took it. The only places we encountered that did not were tiny booths that had no machine to swipe it. Even used it for cookies and Mickey bars at many kiosks.
