Re: credit card at check-in

I am glad Disney isn't one of those places that requires a cc and then puts a big hold on it during your stay...I completely understand wanting to pay cash for everything, and being required to have a credit card is a big irritation with me. I've had super bad experiences with cc's AND with debit cards, and I'm to the point where I feel safer keeping my money in MY possession and no one elses!

Just over a month ago, we were celebrating our anniversary and staying at a nice resort near our hometown. The whole trip was prepaid for us (by someone else!) and yet the resort made this big deal about us not having a credit card to put on file with them. I find that whole mentality frustrating. I understand that some people probably thrash the room or something, but the fact that you can't go to a resort for your anniversary these days without having to give out your credit card information or put down a deposit is just absurd.

When I go to Disney, I almost always pay off my hotel balance in cash. I feel better knowing there aren't going to be any wrong charges or misunderstandings!
