Mobile Using cc for everything inc tips instead of cash?

We go in Aug for 2 weeks and I was thinking of taking around $1k in cash. We are onsite with dining plan. If possible I would rather just use my cc for everything including tips. Is this possible or are there instances where cash is the only option? If cc is possible for most things how much cash is recommended?

We went one year with $125 in cash and came back with most of it.

CC are accepted most places, I think it was ice creams and pressed pennies that we used our cash on

That's us every trip too. For Disney we just use our magicbands which are linked to my credit card. The bill just accrues and when it reaches a certain level they automatically debit my card and the process repeats.

When offsite we also just use the card.

There really is nothing more convenient than a single piece of plastic.

I use my cc at home for practically everything and do the same in Florida.

Yes totally.
U dont have to tip 20% btw.
We had awful awful service in 1 place and i left a 1c tip (so she knew i had to tip but she was so crap i didnt and we left a 40% tip as staff were beyond amazing (fyi at 50sptc)

Tipping is subjective.

But normally 15 to 25 per cent x

I prefer not to use it for petrol or tips. I always make it clear to the server that I will leave the tip on cash if I pay with a cc .

I always tip on the credit card too, if I'm expected to fund the staff's wages through tips I want to know the income is being declared and taxed
