Hi everyone
We are off to Orlando in 3 months and thinking about the best way of taking money. In the past we have always used travellers cheques and only been asked to provide proof of ID via a passport in out of Orlando areas, e.g. St Petes.
However, when we went 2 years ago, we noticed shops in the Orlando area, including some Disney theme park shops, were now asking for proof of ID. Having to carry your passport with you all the time is obviously not ideal. Which brings me to my question............
Anyone who has been recently found that they are being asked a lot for proof of ID in the Orlando area?
If they are checking ID more, then we might opt for one of the Visa cards with 0% foreign exchange rate fees, e.g. Santander. Although this makes it harder to stick to a budget!
We are both not keen on the Visa Travel Cards, as they don't tell you how much you have left on them.
Thanks for any help on this!
