Again, its not that I wouldn't use a disney giftcard but it would likely be months before I did. I wouldn't until my next Disney trip. The whole point of the fish extender is the idea of gifts. Its a fun thing to get involved. If you don't want to get involved you don't have to. They bring up traveling a long way which I can assume means they're worried about space. If they're buying for 13 cabins that means they're also going to receive a bunch of gifts they're not going to have space for.I guess you can pass it on to someone else. I am sure someone would love to get pixie dusted with a gift card.
I mean look at it this way. If everyone started just giving gift cards what is the point? Kinda loses its magic if you give someone $10 and they give you $10 back. The magic of FE is the surprises in the gifts. I think a gift card is meh. Not that it can't be done and just because I won't use it on THAT cruise doesn't mean I have to give it away.
I'm someone who hand makes my gifts. Spent months researching what I want to make finding quality supplies and custom making things for everyone. There's plenty of options out there for people who aren't crafty or creative without essentially just handing people the obligatory $$ to spend back.
