Three weeks from now I will be in Disney World! I can't believe how close it's getting. I'm trying to get stuff sorted out and have another question for you girls. Would it be better to take cash or credit cards? I have a huge jar of change to cash in for our trip and we were thinking maybe it would be better to get Visa gift cards with the money rather than cash. Would it be more convienent to use a credit card instead of cash?

I can't remember if you're staying on-site or off.

We usually carry $100 in cash, and the rest goes on our Disney Visa, or we use our Disney Visa Rewards Card to pay for things. We pay our Disney Visa in full every month, so we never carry a balance. By nature, I'm very "frugal", so I don't overspend while shopping. Ok, I'm a cheapskate! LOL

We mostly charge, but carry some cash.

I think if you are talking about getting the "prepaid" visa gift card things, you are charged a fee.
