Pre-Paid Currency Card
I've always used travellers cheques in the past. I like the way you could use them as money & get change back. For our next trip I'm thinking of joining the modern age & using a pre-paid card.
Which is the best one to get? I suppose which ever gives you the best exchange rate. Do you get charged when withdrawing money from them? Where are the ATM's located around Disneyworld? Are there any in the LBV area? Thanks for any tips.

We've got Fairfx and never had any problems with it, although some have. Think a lot are much of a muchness.
What I will say is whatever you do take, if you are able to have a back up (I know not everyone has credit cards) take them as well. We always have access to a number of different back ups in case there are any issues. Saying that we've used Fairfx for years with no issues.

We had a card and have gone back to travellers cheques. Too many problems and didn't think it was safe enough, never asked to sign and a lot of time they never glanced at us or the card. Found it a pain trying to keep track and ran out of actual cash so have got rid.
