We did the gift cards for our last trip, which worked great. There is now an iPhone app to keep track of gift card balances, which will make it even easier.

On our 2 trips with DDP we spent almost NO additional money(at the time tips were included)
Things we did:
--got all of our Disney themed items at home. We made tshirts, bought them at the Salvation Army and garage sales and got a few on clearance at the Disney Store--we had Disney tshirts for every day of the trip and it put us in the mood.
--bought cheap glo sticks an battery operated light up toys at home.
--brought a suitcase of breakfast items with us to supplement our credits and since we were staying value we also brought a coffee pot, coffee, sugar, creamer AND the disposable coffee cups that come with lids.
--bought our autograph books and trading pins/lanyards on the cheap at home
--remembered the all important ponchos
--share some counter service meals
--got free ice water at the park as needed--did not want to haul around bottles
