That's too bad, before SR I used to get Disney Dollars every so often at my local Disney Store, then that closed. Then I would pick them up at Disney World....love the different ones that they had!
For my "big" birthday I got 50 ten dollar ones on a halloweeny looking black tree...my friends folded them up, just like you'd see on a money tree at someones party! It was soooo cool!

Just a suggestion for those of you who use them for kids and want the kids to understand the importance of money. I have heard a lot of people who create their own Disney Dollars on the computer. They print them out and give them to the kids. They keep gift cards with the actual dollar amount on them. When they get to Disney the kids handle the fake money as they would Disney Dollars but at the last minute mom pays with the gift card and takes the fake money from the kids. This helps with "lost" money because if they lose it you aren't out of the money and can just print more.

That is a really good idea. I guess you could also have the CM take them and throw them away for you while you are giving them the GC if you didn't want to continue hauling them around.
