Disney Dollars were first released to the public on May 5, 1987. The bills
came in $1.00 and $5.00 denominations from 1987 to 1989 but in 1990 they
added the $10.00 bill to the list. The bills are redeemable for goods or
services at Disney theme parks, Disney Cruise Ships, Disney's Castaway Cay
port of call and Disney stores, unless indications to the contrary are
printed on the individual bills. They can also simply be exchanged back to
U.S. currency. They are collected by Disney memorabilia fans. Special
editions were sometimes sold to Disney Cast Members as a form of incentive.
Disney dollars were originally issued in A Series dollars and D Series
dollars. The former series were created for Disneyland in Anaheim California
(hence the A), and the latter D series for Walt Disney World in Florida.
Beginning in 2005 they also issued T Series dollars for The Disney stores.
In 2005 only, Disneyland (A) and Walt Disney World (D) each released $50
bills that were designed by Disney artist Charles Boyer for Disneyland's
50th Anniversary Celebration. The bills designed by Boyer were marked as B
Series. Charles Boyer personally signed a select number of these bills; if
you have one that he has signed be sure to treat it with care; they're
highly sought-after by collectors!
Disney Dollars were created with anti-counterfeiting features such as
micro-printing, and hard to scan/copy reflective ink and imprinting or
embossing on the front and back of the bill. In addition the bills are
printed with serial numbers and letters which are unique to each bill.
New Disney dollars were produced every year since 1987 except 1992, 2004,
2006, 2010 and 2012 but alas, Disney stopped selling Disney Dollars on May
16, 2016. Those wonderful little sheets of spendable Pixie Dust were
replaced by plastic gift cards . . . DANG!!
Where's the magic in that?
You can still buy Disney Dollars, but not from Disney; they are not issuing
new bills. There is, however, an active market where Disneyana Collectors
can buy and sell old specimens. Check out a few online shopping sites, like
e-Bay or Amazon to see how valuable Disney Dollars have become.
You can I still spend Disney Dollars but I certainly don’t recommend it! I’m
quite sure they would still be accepted at Guest Services . . . but don’t
forget, they are worth a lot more than ‘face value’ to collectors.
