Hi! We are cruising for the first time and I bought lanyards but they came without pouches for the cards. I was thinking about getting little lightweight nylon zipper wallets instead of clear plastic pouches with the idea that they might be good to keep a couple of dollars for tips or the kids to tote a lip balm or whatnot. HOWEVER, I just realized clear pouches might be better for scanning or referencing our KTTW cards. Can you DCL veterans give me advice?
 
you don't need to carry money for tips. Any tips for extras like drinks get added to your stateroom account. The only cash you would need is for room service tips.

I agree. I always take a stack of $1 bills to keep in our room for when we order room service, or request something someone has to bring to us there.

As for your original question, leannak, I like the clear pockets on a lanyard for the cruise. Just makes it easy I think. Have fun and happy planning! :cutie:
 
So there is no need to keep anything written on your KTTW card private?

And can you open your hotel door and charge things to your room without taking the card out of the clear pocket?

In answer to your 1st question.....hmmm. I can't think of anything, but I usually have my DVC Member card on the back side of my KTTW card in the same lanyard so I can "hide" something sandwiched between those 2 cards if need be.

2nd question: I'm officially Platinum and in my memory (it's been about a year and a half since my last cruise), I could get into my room by just touching the lanyard pocket w/KTTW card to the door lock. :cutie: Hope that helps!

Unless you want to keep your name private... nothing else really. It has your muster station, dining rotation, castaway number, table number.... nothing anyone would need to steal your identity.

Thanks! That's what I was remembering too. :cutie:
 
I bought a little zipper leather pouch on amazon that is mickey-ear shaped and has a clear sleeve on one side for the KTTW card. Got a lot of compliments and it worked great. I liked having the pouch to put my ID, cash and credit cards when we went on shore, and I also held on to my toddler's KTTW card in there.

Would you be willing to post a link or picture to Amazon? I have used a bunch of different search terms on Amazon but I haven’t been able to find anything that cute

Sure! This is the one I got. Hope the links work. If not, it's called "Charminer neck pouch".

This is the one with solid colors:

We took these on our cruise - the pocket was velcro and opened to lots of storage. You could slip in some cash and a photo ID - we never had to remove our KTTW card for anything, it scanned without issue.
