Re: disney dollars
Well, you could, but the poor service people couldn't use them but in the parks. I would think that they'd appreciate the real thing

Re: disney dollars
I agree with Dopey, the CMs would much rather have real money they can spend w/o having to cash them in.

Re: disney dollars
Okay, I am at a loss. What are Disney Dollars? How do you get Disney Dollars? Where do you get them? What is the point? Can someone explain this to me, please?

Re: disney dollars
As far as I know Disney dollars can be purchased at The Disney Store in maybe a mall near you. They can be used as cash, but as to all the locations you can use them I am unsure..hopefully a nice MBer will add their wisdom...

Re: disney dollars
I too would avoid giving Disney $$.. What we do instead is go to City Hall on Main Street and load up a Disney gift card. We just put however much cash on it we plan to spend, and use it like a debit card. It is much more convenient than cash, you can use it anywhere in Disney. OF course that wouldn't work for Mousekeeping.

Re: disney dollars
Speaking from a cast member point of view, I would say its much better to tip with real cash instead of disney dollars. While cast members can exchange it, they are not supposed to do it while in costume or working. So it can be a little bothersome at the end of the day when they just want to head home. But of course any cast member would like to get disney dollars over nothing.
But if you have the option, I would suggest real cash.

I do know you can buy them at City Hall, and at the various gift shops in WDW. Not sure about local Disney stores though. |
