"wrist" gift cards for water parks?

[mjh8955]

I read somewhere that the water parks sell waterproof gift cards that you wear on your wrist at the water parks. Is there a minimum amount you can put on the card? If there is a balance left on it at the end of the day can you use it elsewhere in the resort? Sounds like a great idea so you don't have to carry cash or credit cards around with you.

I haven't actually used one before but on our last trip to WDW we were at Typhoon Lagoon in line for one of the slides and this little boy and his brother (mabye 12 & 9) were waiting next to us. Well we heard all about their fun trip and how we should really look into getting one of those handy little wrist gift cards. He then informed us of how great is was for parents to be able to just "let the kids go, eat, have fun and not worry a thing about 'em" (his exact words) According to him you can put how ever much you want and just keep adding and adding.

I'm honestly not sure if you can use them around other places but considering its Disney I would be very surprised if you couldn't. Sorry I wasn't much help but that cracked me up then and your question just reminded me of it so thought I'd share my "knowledge".
