we will be bringing cash, as we don't have credit cards. What's the easy way to put the money on the MB

How are you getting a room without a credit card?

OK first if you post this in the Resorts board you should get a better response.

But I believe that you can give the resort cash as a sort of deposit. But I think you need some sort of card on file and every so often you can use cash to pay off your balance but I'm not sure how this works with a debit card.

From what I understand, you don't actually put money on a Magic Band. The bands are connected to your resort stay and are tied to a card that is on file during your stay. You can set spending limits, but you don't add any money to the bands themselves. The purchases that you make during your stay are itemized and charged to the card on file. It would seem that, without a card, the magic band would not be able to function as a means of purchasing anything.

Now that I think about it thats how it works but people have paid off their amount with gift cards but I still think you have to use something to guarantee your account. I have heard of people using debit cards but I think that charge the card for a set amount and then you pay it off.

Again in the resorts board you will get a lot of replies from those who have actually done it.

you don't put money on your magic band.
you charge purchases to your room and need a credit card or possibly a debit card in order to do so.
you can then go pay the room charges off with cash daily or every other day.

btw stuff happens.
i would definitely not be on vacation without a credit card and/or debit card and thats coming from a person that generally uses cash vs credit/debit cards.
