Do you link your credit/debit card to your Key to the World card?

Do you carry a lot of cash on you while at WDW? Or do you just carry just a little, for small incidentals, but make all your purchases with your card?

What are your other spending habits while at WDW?

We link the card to the key and use it for everything. We actually don't even carry cash at all. Just our tickets and the key card.

Spending habits are pretty mild; the hotel and travel costs so much that we pay for food and maybe a tiny souvenir here or there and that's it.

Cash only for Mickey balloons, so we have cash for those! Everything else is on the key. It's nice to get that print-out of your whole trip's expenses, including hotel.

I link my card and use that MOST of the time, we usually use cash for small stuff such as Mickey bars, sodas, and things like that.

We use the key also, but mostly use cash -- the key is just for bigger things we want to buy.

We use the key all the time. Can't stand spending those fees to take cash out of the ATM, and I don't like traveling with enough cash for the whole vacation in my wallet.

I love it. Are there any downsides I'm not thinking about?

I usually carry a few dollars for tipping and otherwise I'm key all the way. I keep meaning to check out Shula's and I fear it will come as quite a shock to have to get out my credit card there.

Brad, yes, Shula's could cause a shock to your credit card, but in my humble opinion it is well worth it.

Excellent point on taking some cash for tipping!!!

Vettelover -- any suggestions for eats at Shula's?

I would have say STEAK!! They have it in whatever cut or size that you want, and the waiters are very attentive to your needs. They even come around to your table and show you the various cuts before you order. I could make a meal out of their French onion soup and a Filet, but I usualy get a potato of some type as well. The menu is ala carte so you can "mix and match"

It can also help keep you from knowing how much you're spending, which can be nice! laugh
