A story and a cruise tip from AskTracy
I know some of you will have children with you so I wanted to share this story I heard recently on the ship. There was a child once that lost his Key to the World card. He didn't want to tell anyone about it because he would get in trouble. A few days later someone how it came to the attention of his parents that the card was gone. Guess what happened? Another child found his card in the arcade and started using it for arcade games. By the time it was discovered, over $500 of purchases had been made with the lost card. In the end Disney did not charge the family who's card was lost (don't know what happened to the other kid though!).
Disney Cruise Lines Key to the World card works much the same as the KTTW card on land. You have a limit at which time they will charge your credit card. On
DCL, the limit is somewhere around $400 to $500. With the KTTW card though, you will never go to a shop and make a purchase and have them say "I'm sorry your credit card was declined, you are over your limit". This is why if you give the kids charging privileges you need to make sure they understand their limit and check your account frequently. You can do this by going to Guest Services and asking for a printout of your account. You also need to make them understand that this piece of plastic with Donald or Goofy's picture on it is like money and if you lose it, report it to a Cast Member or your parents immediately. Same thing goes if you find a card (I don't mean like on a lounge chair with someone's belongings but somewhere that it appears to be lost) you should give it to a Cast Member right away.
Just my little tip of the day!
