My credit card doesn’t charge for use abroad and I get a slightly better exchange rate than I would when getting cash. It’s so much easier than worrying about how much cash I have on me, will it be enough for the day, will it be safe, etc.
However I always take some cash for tips in restaurants, taxis and just have a few hundred dollars just in case. |

Used to use Cash and pre paid debit last trip to DLP we took some cash ~€150 and credit card with no fees aboard. That will be the way we go from now on as you capture a slight different exchange rate and means you don’t convert more or less money than needed. (I have a holidays saving account so money is always there to pay off CC soon as home)

We used to use T/C's, but last few trips just cash and card. We probably take too much cash as I do this at home too, but that's probably an age thing.

I intend to mainly use CC for our upcoming trip including for restaurant tips. For Mouse keeping, ME tips and bit and bobs I was thinking of taking around $250 in cash. This is for 2 weeks on DDP staying onsite. Does this sound about right?
How much do you tip the Magic Express? Edited at 10:57 AM. |

I just do what I do at home every day of the year: use my credit card.
There's nothing more convenient than just using a piece of plastic, surely? And when we're onsite we don't even do that - just use our Magicbands for absolutely everything and then settle up at the end (or in the middle if Disney decide we've spent enough and they want some cash!) |

We have only ever used cash for 25 years and nothing will change our minds, yes I realise we are in the minority.

I have decided to do precisely the same - I still like to deal in cash if possible

I take a credit card (for emergencies) a monzo card and a bit of cash, but tbh the cash is always the same cash I took the year before and didn't spend!
