we will be purchasing 2 annual passes with our DVC membership (yes, we are both DVC members) when we go in June. i can use disney gift cards to pay the cost of the aps and still get the DVC discount, correct?

Yes, you can pay for it the same as any other ticket. Technically, it's a DVC AP, not a DVC discount AP. Just like Florida Resident AP, it's a type of ticket.
I do think there is a limit of transaction payments though. In January when I renewed I had a 1 day pass to apply and 2 gift cards and was going to pay the rest with my cc. The CM said they had a limit of 3 types of payment at one time. So I used the 1 day pass, the larger gift card and my cc for the remainder. If you have more than 3 forms of payment, you can break your purchase into 2 different ones since you plan to buy 2 APs.
so if i had multiple $100 gift cards would i be allowed to only use 2 of them and then pay the balance on each card? or since "gift cards" are only one type of payment, would i be allowed to use as many gift cards as i had to pay the entire cost?
yes.. i have a bunch of $100 gift cards. thank you sams club.

I recently used multiple gift cards to pay for dining plans. Although the cast member did not believe it was going to go through, it did. I assume it was permitted as the gift cards only represented one form of payment.
I buy Disney gift cards throughout the year so I do not have to take money out of savings to pay for the trip expenses. Last year I had 2k in disney gift cards in all different amounts. I used several to pay for the park passes, dining plan, etc. Never had any problems using multiple cards to pay for a single purchase anywhere for anything.
The CM at IG told me that you can use THREE (3) forms of payment per transaction. Since my 2 gift cards and 1 day pass did not cover the balance of my renewal, I had to make sure my cc was one of the 3 forms of payment. HE did try the second gift card (3rd form of payment) prior to charging the balance on my cc and said he could not use 4 forms of payment towards one transaction. I had no reason not to believe him. When I used gift cards when making a payment to my cruise balance it would also only let me use 3 forms of payment then I would have to complete the transaction and start a new one.
I had:
1 day pass = 92
1 gift card = 150
1 gift card = 25 (I could not use this one)
visa for balance = $100 est
You could certainly buy each AP separately if you have multiple gift cards, just ask the CM first about using multiple gift cards to see if there is a max allowance during one transaction.
