Gift cards for CP?

[daisyx3]

My daughter will be arriving Aug. 18 for fall CP. her birthday is in three weeks. Would it be helpful if grandparents, etc. got her Disney Gift cards? I thought if she could use them if she wants to splurge on some merchandise or a table service meal.

I know that is what I asked for for my birthday. Disney Gift cards be used I think pretty much anywhere on property down there...

Same! Both me and at least one of my roommates got bday gift cards. Definitely like getting them too.

I gave my daughter Disney, Publix, Walgreens and Walmart gift cards during her CP.

Another option would be something like a prepaid Visa card, that way she could use it anywhere she wants/needs to

Gift cards are a great idea! My DD is graduating college two weeks before starting Fall DCP so I'm suggesting to family gift cards as well. I'm planning to do a Disney themed gift basket and two things I've done are - Sea world Fun Card which is basically an annual pass that expires Dec 31 ($92) and Universal Annual Pass. I know she'll want to go and I don't want her worrying about cost. She can split parking with others and pay for her food.

I received a bunch as college grad gifts before I started my program and LOVED them!!! They were especially nice on days off when I'd spend the day at the parks - QS meals can add up quickly and it wasn't worth it to go back to my apartment just to grab lunch then leave again!!! So it was nice to have those meals taken care of and I didn't feel so guilty spending like 2hrs worth of pay on food!
