Okay, I have bought some Disney Dollars. I am wondering is there anywhere that won't accept them? Can you pay for your hotel with them? Do the shops at Downtown Disney accept them? Hubby thinks I have went overboard with how much I have bought. I want to show him the responses here and show him that I am not crazy. LOL!! Thanks in advance for the help!!
 
Because extended family members give us Disney Dollars as gifts for every possible reason, we always have a lot of DD$ to spend. They have always been accepted as cash wherever we have used them on every corner of WDW property.
 
I have used Disney Dollars on all of my trips. On Disney property (all of Disney property), they are considered the same as cash. You can use them anywhere - even at the snack carts!
 

I have never had a problem using DD at any place in WDW. Infact if you gove them lets say a &10dd and it only costs $3 or $4 you will get cash back.
 
Disney Dollars sound like a great way to save money!! You can't spend it until you get there!!! Our local Disney store closed though, so no chance of me getting any :(

The money is so darn cute too !!!
 
Disney dollars are the BEST!!! In fact, my son's favorite store is the Lego store in DTD. We went there and they picked out nearly $100 worth of stuff..I knew since it was Lego & not Disney they would not accept them, but they wanted that stuff so it didn't matter.

I asked her as I was pulling out the credit card to pay if they accepted Disney Dollars, she said YES, every store @ DTD does!

They work everywhere..you can never go overboard with them IMHO :wave2:
 
You can buy them at your local Disney Store. They can also be used as cash at the store if you have any left when you come home.

One more question - can you purchase them onsite at the gift shops?

Look - my 400th post - yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
 
You can get them at guest services in the parks on site not at the gift shops.

That is exactly what I told DH. I know that I am bad about saving money. He asked me what if we want to go off site to eat. :eek: The horror of the thought. I told him that we can save some money for essentials off site. We plan on going to the Super Target on the way in for drinks and breakfast foods. Of course we will need money for tolls and gas. Why can;t everywhere accept Disney Dollars? LOL!! Seriously though, I have all of our spending money in Disney Dollars and some cash just in case we do decide to go off site for some reason. I am confident that I have made the right decision to get the Disney Dollars. After all, we can always use them at the Disney Store after our trip.
 
We use them EVERYWHERE! :earsboy:

If you want a fun idea that will build excitement for the trip while also giving you some spending money here is a little game my wife and I play:

I'll buy some Disney Dollars at the Disney store here in town and hide them in all kinds of places for my wife to find and she'll do the same. For instance, I've placed some in her lunch, on the windshield of her car, wrapped around the toothpaste, hidden in a book she was reading at the time...all kinds of fun places. She's done the same for me. I can't tell you how many times when maybe one of us was having a bad day at work and then we find some hidden Disney Dollars that one of us left and it just brings up your whole day!

A side benefit is that if you do this far enough in advance you can have quite a little bundle of extra money for spending saved up!

I can't tell you how this helps to build the excitement for upcoming trips! ::yes::


(In fact I am going home at lunch to hide some in our mailbox. My wife always gets our mail so I can't wait for her to find them!)

How do you "buy" Disney Dollars?

You can buy DD$ at any Disney Store in the US or Puerto Rico ($1 US = $1 DD$), or at various places in WDW and Disneyland, and through WDW Mail Order - (407) 363-6200.

For more info on Disney Dollars, check my DD$ page:
http://willcad.org/disney_dollars.html
 
If you do not have a Disney Store near you, you can order Disney Dollars by mail by sending your request stating how much you want in what denominations ($1, $5, $10 or $50) to:

WDW Ticketing
Attn: Disney Dollars
PO Box 10140
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830

The shipping charge is $3 unless you want "Express" delivery (5-7 business days) then it is $10.

IMPORTANT Reminder: If you use a credit card to purchase Disney Dollars, any amount over $50 will be treated like a cash advance and your account charged the corresponding fees. All mail orders will be charged $10 per order shipping and handling. There is a limit of $650 per order. Make checks payable to "Walt Disney World Ticket Services".

Option 2: phone/fax
From the AllEars newsletter
A few months ago, a reader sent in a tip on ordering Disney Dollars through the mail. Ramona writes with an even speedier method: "We are going to Disney World this May. I wanted to give our two boys Disney Dollars for their Easter basket. Since we do not have a Disney Store very close by, I wanted to find out if I could order them -- but knowing I was under a time constraint (less than two week s) I was worried they would not arrive in time. I was told that I could order via fax. I faxed in my order first thing Monday morning, and what do you know? The very next morning, there was the Fed Ex guy with my Disney Dollars! The best part was that the shipping was free! You can fax your order complete with the denominations ($1's, $5's, or $10's), name, address, and credit card information, to 1-407-566-5645. Thanks, Disney, for the first class service... AGAIN! "

More Disney dollar info: If you order them through central reservations, which is where that mysterious allearsnet.com fax number went through, you can do it over the phone instead of via fax at 407-566-4985 ...have also heard there is a $10 shipping charge per order via phone.


Also, yes, you can use them to pay for your hotel stay. We did this in 2003 at POP. Maggie
 
I'm lucky that our local Disney Store still carries them. Every time we get paid we get 25.00 worth. I have a limit to the amount that I want us to get. But the good thing is that DW told her family that for my bday to get me DD's. We will be using them before using our own money. They are great.
