Can you put money(cash) on your room key?

[dcibrando]

I read somewhere you can put a credit card on your room key to simply just carry it around in the park... well is it possible to put cash on your room key to be used and then pick up the difference (if any) when you check out?

You can give the front desk any money you want to but I believe they will still require a CC. If you pay it off with cash, then they never have to charge your CC.

I did this on our last trip. I made some payments each night but you could do it the first day or the last day...doesn't matter except that I think they do charge your CC on the last night.

Yes, I know that you can do it, I've done it before, but I can't remember if you still need to give a credit card number or not.

I've overpaid on my reservation before and they put it on the room key and you can charge against it but they do require the CC in case you go over the $ amount.

1) When you check-in, you pay for the total room (if not pre-paid).
2) This payment can be
. . . cash
. . . credit card
. . . debit card
. . . traveler's cheque
3) A credit card or cash deposit IS NOT required.
4) If desired, you can give cash or credit card deposits for room key charges.
5) But, without a deposit, you cannot charge ANYTHING, including
. . . telephone calls
. . . food
. . . purchases

I was told by Disney that they require a CC no matter what...
