Where exactly can you use Disney Dollars?

[M&C'sMom]

I assume they can be used at all gift shops and stores at both the parks and resorts. True? Can they be used at sit down restaurants? Does counter service take them? Stores at Downtown Disney? My kids are trying to earn some before our May trip and I wanted to be sure where they are accepted.

TIA!

I understand they are excepted everywhere. I have never had a hard time using them anywhere in the world.
They are accepted just like US dollars.

May I get a receipt when I purchase Disney Dollars?

I purchased Disney Dollars at my local Disney Store today & was given a receipt.

 

[pintrader]

Can Disney Dollars be returned for cash?


I ususally return them for U.S. Dollars as I am leaving the park on my last day at Guest Relations. By the way, make sure your children understand that then they are given change for a purchase, they will receive U.S. currency, not more Disney Dollars.

 

[pintrader]

but you may always ask if your currency can be made back to you in Disney $. If a host/hostess has it they will be glad to make as much of the paper money DD as they have available.

Right you are however about the coin change.
