    No $20's or $50's unfortunately.

    I had the choice of Stitch or Minnie Mouse.
    I asked if they would be getting in any other characters on the Disney Dollars before September and the manager said probably not.
    She said if any of my Disney Dollars were unused and I did not want to wait in line at the resort to cash them in I could return them to the Disney Store with the receipt.

    I live in the SF Bay Area, but maybe your Disney Store has a different selection of Disney Dollars.

    Good Luck!

    Also, it was a lot of fun earning Disney Reward Dollars by essentially 'buying' cash. :)

    Are Disney Dollars accepted everywhere just as cash? I just wonder why they have 2 different forms of payment? What are the benefits?

    I am 275 miles from the nearest Disney store, and I really wanted to get my hands on some Disney dollars for my nieces and nephews to take with them on their first trip to DL next summer. You can buy them on E-Bay, but you pay a hefty price. I was sooooo glad to get this info.
    Let us know if getting them this way is as easy as it sounds, ok? Have an awesome trip, too.

    As I understand it, the gift cards can only be used where there are card readers (ie. shops and restaurants). You will not be able to use them as ODV carts, as they don't have card readers 'on board.'

    The Disney Dollars, however, will be accepted as cash everywhere in the parks and the on-property hotels.

    Many of the shops and restaurants in DTD will not accept the gift cards or Disney Dollars. I'm sure someone on the boards might have a list of those that will.
