I realize Disney Gift Cards do not work in Down Town Disney But I was curious if anyone has bought DTD restaurant specific gift cards and used them. For those of you who use gift cards, has anyone used the ones for Jazz Kitchen, Rainforest, Wetzel pretzels or Jamba Juice and if so did you have a balance on the Gift Cards. Since we are a family of six I am trying to prepay meals using gift cards and wanted to know if they are a good idea for the eateries in DTD.
 
If you know you want to eat there, go for it! You can check out the menus and prices on allears.net so you can get an idea of how much you want to put on the card.

Disney Gift cards won't work in DTD?? Does that include the World Of Disney Store??
 

We've used Landry's giftcards at RFC.

"if so did you have a balance on the Gift Cards"

I'm not totally sure what you're meaning, but maybe you are wondering if we spent all the money on the card? I get the Landry's cards through a rewards site, and generally have only a $25 card to begin with. So we usually use that, and not much more b/c we are Safari Club members (we have a RFC relatively close-by so it's not only the DTD restaurant we go to) and generally have a discount of some kind. We are a family of 3 vegetarians, so our meals there are not the most expensive, LOL.

if you are really concerned about exact budgeting for the various restaurants, I would just budget in cash. Have the money in an account and write down what amounts are for food, for souvenirs, etc, and keep track in a notebook (rather than actually use *cash*, unless you have a Chase account and can use the ATMs at Disneyland).
 
We use gift cards at RFC just about every trip, like Bumbershoot I get them as rewards so get them in $25 quantities. We have no problems spending them, but if you did RFC has a gift shop right there, you could probably find something small to use it for. :)
 
The Disney Gift Card is also accepted at Marcelines Confectionery. There is another Disney owned store in DTD, where it can also be used. I cannot remember the name right off.
How it works is, if it is owned by Disneyland, it (The gift card) is accepted. But for everywhere else in DTD, no, it is not accepted. Maybe one day. The link that the pp posted will tell you additional FAQs about the Disney Gift Cards.


Have fun! :)
