There used to be two different types of gift cards. One you could only use in the disney store, the other you could use in the parks and stores. I believe they phased out the one that you could only use in disney stores a while back though. I could be wrong, but I haven't seen one of those kind in a long long time. It is quite possible that when your friend worked there they still had those kind.
Anyway, the ones that Tricia sends out DEFINITELY can be used in the parks.
