We're among the few that use cash as much as possible-bring X amount of money, watch how much of it is left and how much has been spent. The trouble with credit cards was defined by a millenial I heard, "I like plastic money-after you use it, they give it back and you can use it again. Real money you can only use once, then they keep it."
My concern is what if a family comes in to visit the resort. While there, hunger hits and they head to Mara to get a bite to eat. When they get to the cash register (or whatever it's now called) they pull out their cash and have it denied. They either don't have Magic Bands, have them but not set up for charging, no credit cards with them, hate to charge, etc. In that scenario, sale lost?
