As far as the discussion on gift cards that has been going on, this is a case where I would not get $1000 gift cards. If I were planning on using them as I went I would get smaller amts, depending on what I expected to spend, rather than carrying around that much at once. However, in our case, some of the TS meals can be in the $$250-300 range with tip, so we would still have to carry quite a bit of money in the form of GCs around.
Can you get the wristband CGs at Epcot at all times of the year? I know I have gotten them during F&W, but that's the only time I've noticed them. Maybe they always carry them, but just make special ones and prominently display them during F&W? What about other festivals? How about summer, when there aren't any festivals? I'm mostly just curious, but per the recent conversation if could be good info for some people.
