Did you know that you can pay for your entire Disney vacation with Disney gift cards? Why would you want to do this? If you buy discount Disney gift cards, you are in essence saving money on your Disney vacation.
There are a few places that sell discount Disney Gift Cards and if you know where to find them, you can save up to 5% on your vacation right off the bat.
5% may not sound like much, but if you consider that the average Disney vacation costs about $5,000, 5% is $250!
That is like one night at a Disney Resort or two days of Disney park tickets!
Where to Get Discount Disney Gift Cards

It saves you 5% on your Target purchase every day, and this includes when you purchase Disney Gift Cards at Target!

Where Can I Use Disney Gift Cards?
