Overview

• New signs at affected carts instruct guests to pay by credit or debit card, Disney Gift Card, or mobile payment options.
• Observed locations include the popcorn cart near Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom, Drinkwallah and a small Asia kiosk in Animal Kingdom, a popcorn stand near EPCOT's Creations shop, and select kiosks in Disney’s Hollywood Studios such as Ice Cold Hydraulics.
• Signage advises cash-carrying guests to visit another location that accepts cash or to purchase a Disney Gift Card at merchandise stores.
• Outlets report this as a targeted operational shift, noting that merchandise carts have trended cashless for years and mobile ordering is already widespread.
• Reporters note the signs appear small and possibly adjustable, and there has been no official announcement of a resort-wide, permanent policy as concerns persist after recent electronic payment outages.
