I'm not 100% sure but I think your debit card has to be a MasterCard or Visa debit card.....the type that has the credit card logo, but the money comes right out of your checking account.(Some people get confused, as there are debit cards without the Visa/MC on it as they are just debit cards and not acceptable at many hotels for checking in) You should also know that you can charge only $1000.00 per day, per card....so if you are charging everything to your room and plan on paying as you check out - BE Careful! It sure does add up fast. There are also Money machines in the hotel lobbys, so if your debit card is not a visa/master debit card, you can pay in cash by getting the money out of the MAC, but they have cut off amounts too. You can always pay cash in the parks, its just so convenient not to bring any!
You can check your daily charges on your TV screen too, so you know how much you have spent, and if you need to, you can pay down your bill.
I have a question....
I don't remember but can you buy small items with your room card such as water, ice cream, etc, or do you need cash for that? I am having memory loss!
