If it's going to be a nightmare using a debit or credit card now, I think I'll consider just taking all cash. Never understood why things like this have to change 🤷

Insurance doesn’t cover much cash. Just take a fee free credit card.

I'm sure we'll be hearing more about this on here! So if you plan to spend $2000 on a credit/debit card linked to your room, make sure you have $4000 available. Perhaps someone can verify if this is true once more people have been back to Disney.

This has been the case for a few years. It was widely reported when we last travelled in 2019.
