I thought they had done away with the dollars in favor of the customizable gift cards? Where did you get them?

We get Disney Dollars every trip including trips in June 2011 and August 2011. They still have them. It is just that they have not printed anything new since the 2009 series. You may get them at any Disney Resort. Many times however, they don't have much so I always ask them to check the safe. It takes almost 15-20 minutes each time I go to get them though.
This is great news, saw it on MousePlanet too. I was concerned that the Disney Dollars would be going away so I have hoarding about $500 worth myself.

It seems they have overhauled the Disney Dollar "program" somewhat; when I bought Disney Dollars at the Pop concierge in Jan. 2011, they told me it was only cash exchange. It could've been bad info back then, but this might be a meaningful change.
I think Disney has realized that if they put out a new design every year in small quantities (the new serial #'s are shorter than the old ones), then most of the new Disney Dollars will be "collected" and never spent. It's almost like printing their own money!
Sorry about the joke. I had to say it.

Honestly they could "sell" them but not allow them for use. The hold up has been that there's an issue with counterfeiting and as such they use security measures on par with the US Government.

Paper is so un-Pirate..
Too bad they could not have done "Pieces of Eight" or Doubloons.

I'd also bet that's why they only makes $1's now... much less tempting to counterfeit a one dollar bill and it reinforces the idea that this is a novelty and not a way to pay for your $300 Emporium shopping spree.
