Peter Greenberg: Using Disney Dollars

Dear Peter, Over the past five years, I have accumulated almost $1,500 Disney "dollars" on my credit card. Can I use my Disney dollars to pay for resort and theme-park tickets? How easy or difficult are they to use? Can I use them to book special promotional offers? I would be taking my family of four (3 adults and 1 teen) and would buy a 6- or 7-day ticket with the “park hopper” option for each person. Any additional information would be appreciated as far as the best "bang for the buck" I could get, since we don't vacation very often. –Billie, LaPorte, Ind.
