Destin's city center is on the westernmost tip of the peninsula. A number of golf courses, such as the Kelly Plantation Golf Club, dot the peninsula. One of the most popular clubs is the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, which also has lodging and attractions along the gulf and bay sides.
Walt Disney World Resort continues to honor all unexpired theme park tickets with remaining admission days. However, be aware that unless you purchased the No Expiration Option, theme park tickets purchased after 2004 expire 14 days after their first use. While the No Expiration Option is no longer available, if you have previously purchased theme park tickets with the No Expiration Option, your tickets will still be honored.
I have used Disney Gift Cards at the park. First, make sure the card says Disney Gift Card, not Disney Store Gift Card (which is more limited to the store). You can use a Disney Gift Card within the parks. They cannot be used at restaurants within Downtown Disney. Exception should be that they should be accepted at Disney owned hotel restaurants. They are accepted as payment at the World of Disney Store and stores within the parks.
