    Default What I used most of my disney giftcards for...how about YOU?

    (edited the title to ask others what they did, especially while visiting Disney!!!)


    I forgot to mention this when we got back from Disneyland, so I am now.

    Most of the credits that are shown in my signature banner were turned into Disney Gift Cards. Some of the balance of the cards was used to get me a bathing suit and two dresses (all Mickey prints of various kinds) from disneyshopping.com (which I earned MORE credits for).

    But the bulk of the SR rewards were used...to upgrade from our parkhoppers to Disneyland Annual Passports! Yay!

    And we were SO lucky, because I was just going to wait until the end of the trip to upgrade. Then I realized that even the Deluxe APs give you 10% off most food there, so we upgraded on the 19th. Lo and behold, when we got back, I found out that they had raised all admission prices on the 21st! I was just in time! Otherwise we would have used ALL the gift cards, plus some wallet-money, b/c it would have been $60 more (total). Thank goodness we upgraded on the 19th!

    So thank you SR, for being around so I could earn those credits, and get those dresses and bathing suit, plus the ability for us to go to DL several times this year without needing to worry about TICKETs.

    We got back last Friday from a week at WDW. I took $400 in Disney GC and to be honest, quite a bit was spent on my new passion....mango margaritas!! We were also able to order some rather expensive wine with dinner that we probably would not have tried otherwise.

    And, of course there were a couple of t-shirts, souvenirs, and a new 2007 scrapbook for all the photos!

    So, thanks SR....our trip was extra magical.

    I used mine for the wine tasting. We spent 180.00 in the park, and 70.00 at Spoodles. Since our hotel room didn't take Disney GC, I sold them to the couple we were with, so that was applied to my room and they had GC for in the park, so it worked out very well. Don't you just love free vacations or the extras you can get that you would not normally do without the GCs. Oh ya, the remaining amount went for Halloween costumes for the two grandsons.
    If you think you know all the answers, it just means you haven't been asked all the questions.

    I used mine for 4 MVMCP tickets for our upcoming trip. I also have one set aside for Ra's gift card b-day surprise at her Garden Grille dinner, and my next cashout will be for a gift card for her friend who is joining us. Then I'm hoping to get another squeezed in to help pay for the Garden Grille!!

    Just back, used my cards to pay for MNSSHP and dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern. Used what was left to pay for a few meals in the parks. So nice to not have to spend "real" money!

    We just got back Sunday. We used our GC's for MNSSHP tickets and Chef Mickey's as well as about 80% of our food and souvies for the week. I'm sure it would have gone a little further if we hadn't gone crazy buying stuff for DS. BUT, we tackled some Christmas presents for him (Disney Racer cars and the Mickey Star Wars figures) so that was great also!! We still had gift cards to use up to about Saturday night, so it was an awesome feeling!!!

    Since DH had to use the internet for work, I made sure to get in my daily survey every day and I'm working on what I can for next year's trips!!! I know we're doing WDW/ Cruise in October and trying to plan a short trip earlier in the year when the baby is about 6 months old. So, gotta get busy with my SRing!!!
