Disney Dollars About This Page:

[metta4]

Ok...I am new here so bare with mystupidity. What are Disney Dollars? From what I gather they can be used like real money at Disney..right? Is there anything on the DIsney WOrld grounds they can't be used for?

I am thinking of starting to buy some and set them aside for the trip.

You are correct. They can be used for lodging, meals, souveniers. I think Downtown Disney has places where they might not accept them.

Ummm... I think my dog ate the website.

Seriously, I could have sworn I had a site book marked where you could buy DDs online, but can't find hide nor hair of it now.

(Do websites even have hide or hair? Maybe that's my problem!)

(Yes, stress levels have been a tad high lately. Does it show?)

Anyway, I'm sorry folks, but I can't seem to find it. Keep an eye on Disneydirect.com, though. Now that the Disney Store is no longer owned by Disney, I would kinda expect to begin to find them there in Spring or so. No guarantees, just a hunch.

They are very cool to have, but remember, just like real $$, they can be lost, and they cannot be returned!

You can use DD$ for almost everything at WDW. All Disney-owned restaurants, shops, stores, and carts accept them, but some of the non-Disney stores at Downtown Disney don't, and the stores and restaurants in the non-Disney hotels on Hotel Plaza Blvd. and the Swan & Dolphin don't. I wouldn't try using them at Universal Studios, either; you'll get some strange looks.

I typically use DD$ to pay for my meals and souveniers. Last month I also used them to pay for my park pass and to pay my entire bill at Pop Century. I also put some down to get the charging feature activated on my room key, instead of using a credit card.

When uyou use DD$, they are treated exactly like real money. There's no special proceedure; just hand it over to the cashier like US greenbacks. Your change will usually be in US money, although sometimes the cashier will give you some DD$ back if they have them in thier cash drawer already. Coin change is always in US money, since there is no DD$ coinage.

We love giving the kids Disney Dollars to spend at the parks. I also make sure that I get one every time they change the character on them. Kind of a memento.

I love Disney dollars! I always try to get to the Disney store whenever I have extra cash so that I can exchange it for Disney dollars. It's the best way for me to save for Disney! Santa left my ds and dd $100 disney dollars this past Christmas!! The kids were so tickled!

Can you buy Disney Dollars online? We are planning a return trip to WDW and I would like to buy some to save for our trip!

I always love to keep my extra I bring home as souveniers, but I thought someone somewhere posted that they could be returned if you had the receipt form their purchase? Like I said, I wouldn't, but just in case someone does. Thanks, Ruth

Unless they've changed their policy on this, you can exchange Disney Dollars for real money at City Hall. Michelle

We get them for DD to use and this year as we are taking my Dnephew we gave him some for Christmas.

I just found some 1's and 5's at the Disney store in Omaha;
I'm going down this afternoon to get some.

A 3 1/2 hour road trip just for Disney Dollars - I must be nuts! Oh, well.

Wish me pixie dust that they still have some when I get there.

[PixieDustCentral]

You may want to wait until May.. The new 10's are due out.

[TroianRae]

Just got back from Omaha - they have tons of 1's (Chicken Little) and 5's (Goofy).
