Emelia,
I love Disney Gift Cards! My kids will put them on birthday and Christmas wish lists, since they allow the family member to give what they choose, and what is in their budget. It also lets my kids spend their money on what they really want. For me, they can be a nice way to save up for some incidentals on the vacation as I prepare for my next escape to the magic!
The last time I was at the
House of Blues at
Disney Springs they did, in fact, accept Disney Gift Cards. You will find that most food venues at Disney Springs accept the cards. You should be mostly good to go elsewhere, though if you had a specific merchandise purchase from one of the amazing retailers at Disney Springs in mind, it would certainly be worth the time to call and ask.
BONUS TIPDisney Springs is an amazing place, filled with great shopping, food, and entertainment. If a bit of unique entertainment is on the vacation menu, consider the all-new show at
Cirque du Soleil,
Drawn to Life. I have not been yet, but I loved the previous show in this custom-built theater, and friends who have seen the new show say it is amazing!
Have a Magical Vacation!
