What is the best way to use a Disney gift card?

I get that I can buy food or merchandise in the parks with a gift card, can you give example of some other ways people use them?
  1. To buy park tickets.
  2. To pay off onsite resort charges when you check in or before you check out of your Disney-owned hotel.
  3. To buy Disney resort reservations.
