Walt Disney World to test a cash-less resort payment system

Horrible idea- I’m here now and it is making me mad. Doesn’t not accepting the American dollar devalue it?

My Disney trips are a mix of cash (small purchase, tips), gift cards (QS meals) and credit cards (big stuff because I don’t want to take big amounts of cash) but I would not want to be forced into going cashless for everything. First because it is my choice how I pay, second because I recently had a minor bad incident with Disney tacking a charge on my card without notifying me first which makes me not want them to have access to my card anymore than necessary and I had my card stolen from an online site unrelated to Disney which had me without my card for several days. Imagine that on a vacation where all you have is a card that is now no longer valid. How do you pay for the rest of your meals, souvneiers etc in that situation if cash is no good? Cash can’t get hacked and if you are responsible, it won’t get lost either. Saying a card, credit or debit, can just be replaced over simplifies because they will mail it to your home, not your hotel. Nor do I want to come home to a big credit card bill or waste time sitting in TS restaurants waiting for the bill, waiting for them to come get my card, waiting for them to return with endless slips to sign and then finally getting out. I hand them cash and get gone. No, I do not want to be bullied into charging and if my upcoming stay was at AKL, I would be swithcing hotels asap.
