Um, I only said the CM was surely right. Nothing more.It was a Guest Relations plaid.. They generally know what they are talking about. Not sure why you insist on being so snarky about it. I was simply stating that the insistence that "they won't take your phone away" is misguided.
I've also seen them in a couple of sporting event arenas where it is cashless. If you have cash, you can go to a reverse ATM. You put in the cash and it spits out a debit card with your cash balance on it.Glad I don’t go to any 6 flags ever.
I don't see what the big deal is. I rarely use cash anymore. It's much easier to use my debit card.I've also seen them in a couple of sporting event arenas where it is cashless.

The fact that going cashless means most kids don't have a clue how to count cash anymore.... Also for the parks I would have rather gave my son 30$ cash than worry about his losing the visa gift card. Used to put cash in one of them necklaces(tube) that floats and water proof. Can't do that with a card.I don't see what the big deal is. I rarely use cash anymore. It's much easier to use my debit card.
All this drama because they didn't train the cast members to write a exp date on the back like they used to before covid....?
I am only speaking to what has been happening at Disneyland. They don't HAVE portable scanners at the table service restaurants.Wouldn't they just use scanners kinda like how they tap magic bands at the table? If they want to scan the code on the phone that is..
What about the risk of losing your cash? You wouldn't believe how much cash I have seen on the ground at the parks over the years. People drop it and don't notice, all the time.The risk of theft. That is the concern. ID theft or unauthorized charges on a card or misusing a cash transfer app on a phone.
Debit cards access some type of account behind the debit card.
You can make it through a day at Disney with a small amount of cash???Glad we all have our options.
Losing a small, finite amount of cash is an acceptable risk for me. It is a finite amount.
Credit cards, my friend. You're liable for exactly ZERO dollars in unauthorized charges.Funny. Good one!
(I don't want to sound rude, so I did not give numbers. But I meant a small amount of cash compared to what could be at risk of losing if the account behind the card was breached. For example, loosing $1,000 in cash compared to losing a lot of dollars if the account was breached. When the cards are backed by big accounts, it makes you handle the account differently.) "Small" can be seen as relative. Small to Elon Musk is different than small to Ms. Bibbidi.

Not all wrote it down and it really means nothing more than a reminder to guest. A quick dab of polish remover and a sharpie one could change the date.All this drama because they didn't train the cast members to write a exp date on the back like they used to before covid....?
