A new Disney pilot program has been announced today.
Beginning February 12, 2018, Disney is going to launch a pilot “electronic-only” or Cashless system at The Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House.
Jambo House will be the first location to participate in this new electronic-only payment program.
Guest can use Magic Bands, credit card, debit cards, Disney Gift Cards, Disney Rewards redemption cards, and e-payment methods like Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay.
Cash will still be accepted for tips and as currency to add to your room charge account.
Guest who had reservations for the resort of for dining during this new program have been notified.
Guests with resort or dining reservations during the pilot program are being advised of the change.
That’s great! Until we find out about yet another (every month or more often with one company or another, it seems) breach into their system which exposes everyone’s account information, and i wonder how that will go over when people realize that was the only form of payment they would accept. I imagine a crook realizing this new policy would think it’s the perfect target for their next attack.
