Cash in the parks?

[Surgie2]

Is there anything besides the balloon man that requires cash only in the parks?

I can't think of a single time I've needed cash since the arrival of Magic Bands.

Some of the pressed penny machines we encountered are the new digital ones where you have to insert 1 or 5 dollar bills (vs quarters and pennies), if that is something you're interested in at all.

I think the Frontier Shooting Arcade is still cash, and the Chester and Hester area of Animal Kingdom...

Can't think of a place where credit card cannot accepted. But it never hurts to have some cash on hand.

In all my trips, I’ve only encountered one place that required cash and it was a food booth at Disney Springs

Like the time I put $100 on a F&W gift card and the system went down by the time I got to the first food kiosk.......always have a few bucks cash.

I think the balloon vendors are cash only. I could be mistaken, though.

Yes the Balloon vendors are cash only as well as the people selling all the light up items in the push carts before the parade.

THIS. Even if you don't think you will need it it never hurts to tuck $20-40 in the wallet at all times.

now if only that was true at all the Disney Parks around the world. Sadly at other parks you need that cash on hand in local currency but not so much at WDW

Cash tips for mouse keeping..

I normally figure up what my tips would be for my meals (we use DDP) and I have different envelopes for each restaurant so I lock them up in the safe and each day stick the ones I need into my mini back pack.

I was wondering about F&W I wanted to get one of those mini wrist bands but now Im wondering after reading ppls experience with down systems..

Never tried the Arcade in frontierland will have to put that on the list and Ill want to get my soon to be grandson a balloon..

Anyone know how much the balloons are?
