| Disney Dollars $$$ |
|
What better way to get your children involved at an early stage than by giving them Disney dollars for their birthday, at Christmas or for that extra bit of work done. They can then save for their holidays and see the funds increase while not being able to spend it until they reach Disney!
Disney dollars are a form of tokens sold by Walt Disney which have a one for one value with the US dollar and have a similar shape, size and design. The dollars bear the image of Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto and Goofy or one of the Disney landmarks. You can purchase Disney dollars using credit and debit cards or cash, in advance of your trip or when you arrive.
Disney Dollars.
Since 1987 Disney Dollars have been printed and sold at the price shown on the bill; Dollars are now available in $1, $5 and $10 bills. These bills are considered collectible to some and novel to others! Disney Dollars are a form of tokens and used as currency at Disney theme parks and also at the Disney Store. The ‘exchange rate’ is one US dollar to one Disney dollar. The design of each bill is different every year, which is why they have become both collectables and lovely, decorative souvenirs (and also great gifts, whether you’re planning to visit one of the theme parks or just purchase Disney merchandise).
Each bill has a unique serial number and letter, what is interesting is that the Disney dollars will never expire and can therefore, be used anytime. The designs of each bill usually go along with a particular theme depending on Disney events in that year, for example, Mickey Mouse’s 80th Birthday.
Where to purchase Disney Dollars?
Unfortunately, since 4th October 2009 The Disney Store no longer sells Disney Dollars. They are, however, still available from Disneyland and Disneyworld Resorts. Readers should also note that Disney Dollars are not available for purchase online from Disney.
However, if you want to purchase Disney Dollars in advance you can purchase them by mail through Walt Disney World Ticketing at:
WDW Ticketing
PO Box 10140,
Lake Buena Vista, FL 34736
Customers should write a letter and list of how many ones, fives, and tens, up to $650.00 they want to purchase (and don’t forget to include payment for shipping and handling). You should purchase the Disney dollars with a cheque or postal order, made payable to Walt Disney World Ticketing (including the postal cost!).
International guests can also call 001 714 781 4025 for ordering instructions.
Otherwise, wait until you get to the Resort to get some holiday currency -
When you do arrive at one of the Disney resorts, you should note that you will be able to get hold of Disney Dollars at any Disney resort hotel or in the actual park, for example at News-stands, Disney resort shops or Emporiums (these are typical examples for guidance, though, this list is not extensive!).
