Lots of VISA Chase Disney Dollars to use for food - but staying at the Dolphin

[pooh2001]

We love the Dolphin - but we can not use our DDRD's for food at the Dolphin.

How about using our DDRD's for food at the CS at the YC/BC and BW ?
Where can we use them if we are not guests of the YC?BC or BW ?

Can we use the DDRD's and allowed to enter at:
Boardwalk Pizza Window
Big River Grille and Brewing Works
Seashore Sweets
Beach Club Marketplace
Hurricane Hanna's Grill - but it's at SAB, a closed off to guest pool, so I guess it would be a no for us ?
Crew's Cup Lounge
Captain's Grille


Any possible CS near the Dolphin for us to use the VISA Chase Disney Dollars (DDRD's) for a quick meal ?
If no for Hurricane Hanna's Grill - then does the BW have a close by CS other than the Pizza Window ?
Thanks !

We have been able to use rewards dollars at all wdw sites you listed, except the food carts at parks (we just haven't tried it not saying it wouldn't work). I don't know about non-disney restaurants at DTD like RFC or Wolfgang pucks(although the fast food one is on DDP). We really enjoy all the rewords points, but may I suggest using your room key for change then just using the rewards card to pay the balance before check-out..we did this last trip. Then its just a matter of who accepts your room charge. I think its easier that way.

Except, if they're staying at the Dolphin, are they able to charge to their room? (I simply don't know) I'd assume not, other than at the Dolphin/Swan locations. Added to that, since they can't use the reward points at the Dolphin/Swan restaurants, I don't think they'd be able to pay off the balance even if they could charge to the rooms.

As far as the original question, sorry, no idea . I would assume so, but not having a card kinda makes it just a guess.

You should have no problem redeeming your reward dollars at the CS and TS locations at the YC/BC. You do not need to be a guest of the resort to eat there. I think even Hurricane Hannahs has a window outside the pool area so you can order there. We have also used the rewards card at the snack carts in the park - as long as the computer is working properly.

The rewards card can be used anywhere on Disney property and you do not need to be a guest (inquire BEFORE you sit/order) . I do not believe you can charge to your room, otherwise that is a great idea, then just pay it off at end.
Have a great trip! As far as pools go, only resort guests can use resort pool, during Holiday/Busy season, I hear they check and are vigilant

Only at Swan/Dolphin restaurants. Swan/Dolphin is not a Disney property so they won't accept Disney Reward Dollars as payment either at the restaurants or the front desk.

Hurricane Hannas is not inside the Stormalong Bay fence and you do not have to be a YC/BC guest to eat there.

Have you considered Beaches & Cream?
