TC's are your best option for a trip to Disney everywhere on property will accept them even counter service for eating. Debit cards will work if they are TD cards as they have a network set up in the US now and many other CDN banks do not.

TC, you won't have any problems using them at Disney.

The only problem I had was when I lost them, but it was really a blessing, because they were replaced the next morning, just like the commercial. I highly recomend them. No, wait. I did have another problem. I had bought tc in Canada once, and the bank made a mistake, and issued Can.$$ instead of US$. When you purchase them, make sure they are in the right currency. I love tc and do not travel without them. I've never had a problem cashing them. I usually cash what I think I will need at the front desk of the hotel. It saves pulling out id if I am off site. Onsite, I have never been asked for id.

You said we so I suggest that you get TC's that allow two signatures that way either of you will be able to use them.

We used TC's on our last trip and it was great. When we checked in we setup room key charging, charged everything to the room during the trip and then the night before we checked out paid it all off with TC's. You do have to watch that you don't go over the room charge limit during the trip or Disney will charge it to the card. We only had a small amount of cash with us.
