Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I think you'll need to have some cash on hand for the concession stands, but the walk in restaurants, you can probably use a credit card at. I don't remember, so don't hold me to it. Lockers will probably require some coins. Check out this website for phone #;s to call them directly for info. http://www.depotdan.com/tips/phone.htm and http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/common/phoneList?id=PhoneListPage & bhcp=1 .

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 You can do most everything with a credit or debit card-even the soda/ice cream carts take both. The only carts I have seen not take them are like the temporary carts that sell the twirling light toys right before the evening fireworks. Other than that, credit/debit cards are accepted everywhere.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 We have rented a wheel chair, a stroller and a locker at Disney. And you go to a desk to do it. I am sure at one time or another we used a credit card.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I'm assuming you're asking about Disneyland, though the policy should be the same at WDW. You can use your credit/debit card at almost all shops, resturants, and locker rental facilities. I use my card all the time when I go since it's easier to keep track of the one card than all the cash when I'm also tracking two kids! The only places that won't take the card is the outside vendors/carts (churros, popcorn, fruit stands, beverages...). For this DO NOT hit the ATMs, they charge huge fees! Go to any of the stores or City Hall and purchase Disney Dollars, no extra fees, works like cash, and at the end of the trip you can turn it back in for cash at any of the stores or City Hall! Feel free to keep the questions coming!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 You can probably also withdraw cash from an ATM with your credit card... try it near home before you leave. We have been able to withdraw money from ATMs in Italy, New Jersey, the Dominican Republic and other Caribbean islands with our VISA card with no problem.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 But it is much easier, safer and more convenient than carrying around lots of cash or traveler's checks!!! And you get the cash in the local currency. Actually, I don't think my bank charges so much... maybe it varies???

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I plan on using my debit card and just bringing some money for back up. I appreciate everyones feedback. You can only withdrawl $500 a day at my bank so I didnt want to get my family in a bind. I think debit and Credit is the safest plan then when I return home pay the balance off quick before the interest sneaks in..lol Steph Expecting? Get great news right away with email Auto-Check.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I agree, most cc charge a fortune to withdraw cash from an atm. Use your bank card to withdraw money for very little charge.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 That is what we do Steph. We never pay them interest, just pay off the entire amount each month. Using the CC company is the only way to go. We use our GM card and accumulate $7,000 for bonus cash back to us, the customer, just for using their card. We use it to buy a new vehicle each time we get up to that maximum. The car dealer,say they have never seen anyone accumululate that much money to take off the cost of a new vehicle. - Steph Wednesday, March 07, 2007 6:51 AM Re: Re: OT Disney I plan on using my debit card and just bringing some money for back up.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 My debit card isn't as universally accepted as my visa card. In New Jersey, I was able to pay at some places with my debit card, but not others. Visa works virtually anywhere on the planet.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Oh yes CC are accepted for payment everywhere, but using them on ATM's were where folks were saying the big charges occured. That was the only caution. I know that the exchange rate is much better usually to, for using your CC in countries other than your own. That has been our experience anyways.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 We like GM and Discovery, because both give you cash back, which is what we prefer. The GM actually gives it towards any new GM vehicle purchase only though, but that is fine with us, since we have had great experience with any of them we have ever purchased. Discovery, actually gives you cash back, that you accumulate. Hope that helps Steph. Judy - Steph Wednesday, March 07, 2007 7:21 AM Re: Re: OT Disney your one smart cookie.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 This is why I rccomended purchasing Disney Dollars! No extra charges, the transaction will come through on your statement as a " gift card " in most cases and if you have any left over at the end of the trip, you trade it in for good ol' greenbacks! (Disneyland City Hall also does international currency exchanges.) And if you don't get them traded back, you have a nice souveiner from your trip! They're releasing new Pirates of the Carribean dollars next weekend!
