Hi, Beth!
I love that your kids have been saving for their vacation. I have no doubt they will have problem finding plenty of magical souvenirs at Disney!
The
MagicBands do not store any financial information such as cash, credit card numbers, or gift cards. You have a few options if you do not want to carry around the cash.
-Purchase
Disney Gift Cards with the cash. You will need to carry the cards with you, but it might be easier than the loose money.
-If you are staying at a Disney Resort and have a credit card on file, you can charge back to your room with your MagicBands. With this option, you will need to keep track of their spending, but you can then pay the front desk with the cash to cover their purchases.
-Another option is to simply have a ziplock baggie with each child's shopping money. I suggest you carry the money so the kids don't lose it if you go this route.
However you decide to pay for your purchases, wishing you and your kids lots of wonderful shopping!
Mouse Gear at Epcot is one of my favorite shopping locations, as well as the Co-Op in Disney Springs. Enjoy!
Cathy
