As you have read, I am a Disney shopper.  It can get expensive at times, especially with no budget set.  I have learned to use Disney gift cards to assist me with no getting caught up in the “magic of Disney merchandise.”  I set a budget, load the amount on the card, and cross my fingers that I can stick to it.  I have been successful at times and others I had to reload the gift card before the end of the trip. The gift card can be reloaded at most registers on property.  Besides using the card to stick to a budget, it is easy to use in stores, resorts, restaurants, and most snack carts.  I also like the fact that I do not have to count out cash or carry around all the coin change as a result of using cash.  However, remember to treat your gift card as cash.

I purchased my Disney gift card from DisneyStore.com.  I personalized it with a picture I took on one trip.  It does offer a special touch and gets the attention of Cast Members.

I also discovered a free Disney gift card app for the iPhone.  I am not sure if it is available for other smart phones. It becomes a chore to keep up with receipts to know your balance. You add your gift card or cards, give it/them a name, and it lists the balance. The app will also list the recent transactions.  At the present time, you cannot reload the gift card using this app.
