Help with credit card question please

[mrsswat]

DD is leaving tomorrow for spring break - can I call AKL and give them MY credit card to use for her? The room is already paid for, I am just talking about leaving the number for her to use for room charges. Is that possible?
Thanks

I would call Disney and speak with them about it. Could you maybe get her one of those prepaid Visa's and send that with her? That would probably be the easiest. You can get them all over the place in lots of different amounts.

Or better yet you can send Cash. She can give them the cash at checkin to put on her account. When the trip is over if there is any cash left they will give it back to her.

call the resort directly. i have a feeling the answer might be "no", howver, as there is no way to tell if the person calling (you) is who they say they are.
if you are not comfortable with cash, you can also purchase a disney gift card at any disney store (in addition to WDW, it's also good at the DS's, DCL, DL, & on-line).
another option is to call your CC company, and request that an additional user card be overnighted to her at WDW (good if she is staying at least a few days, & she can use cash for the first 2-3. you will most likely need to pay for overnighting).
else the prepaid CC might be the way to go (normally there is a charge for them tho).
just a suggestion though: my DS does not have a CC in his name either, so i got him an "additional user" card a while back there are often circumstances (car breaking down, short trips with friends, etc) where that card can give a parent incredible peace of mind. even if not for this particular trip, consider getting one for her "just in case".

1) I have had people try that.
2) The answer is always "no".
3) Need to see the card to avoid credit card fraud.
4) As mentioned above, the alternatives are
. . . give them your card to use
. . . give them a gift card
. . . give them cash
. . . give them Disney Dollars
