Do I take some cash or just use Revolut/Starling

Quick question... I am using my Starling or Revolut card whilst in Orlando in Apr but do I bother taking any cash or just use a cashline at MCO ... I do like having some dollars, but exchange rate on high street is pants in comparison to exchange for revolut/Starling...and I am aware withdrawals are fee free.

Thanks

I took a small amount of cash for tips etc

I took dollars with me. I take such a small amount now (just incidentals and small tips - everything else goes on card) that getting a slightly better exchange rate isn't worth going out of my way to a fee-free ATM over there.

Yeah, you won�t get charged a fee by Revolut, but you will be charged a fee of $2 by the ATM on every withdrawal. The Disney ATMs suck.

I took barely any cash and a Monzo/Revolut in November and had an absolutely nightmare with my cards - particularly my Revolut. It just would not work randomly, sometimes fine, others it was continually rejected. So I'm not bothering with Revolut this time, have a bit on my Monzo and mainly cash like the old days.
