Disney World Widens Cashless Rollout to Snack and Merchandise Carts

Disney has not issued a resort-wide announcement, leaving the scope and timeline unclear.

Overview

  • New uniform signs label certain spots as cashless and instruct payment by credit card, Disney gift card, or mobile wallet, with cash users directed to buy and load gift cards nearby.
  • Magic Kingdom snack carts across the hub, Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, and Storybook Circus have switched to card and mobile payments.
  • At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Ice Cold Hydraulics is among the locations now operating without cash.
  • Cast Members report that nearly all outdoor vending at Disney’s Animal Kingdom has gone cashless as the park-by-park rollout expands.
  • Quick-service and table-service restaurants are still accepting cash, and on-park signage appears consistently across areas including Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
