Best way to pay for a holiday in Orlando

After years of saving I will be taking my grandchildren to Disney Flordia. I booked the holiday in August and paid a deposit. I now have to pay for the rest of the booking at the end of this month. I do not want to use a credit card as I will have to pay a precentage on it. I was wondering if I pay by Visa debit card will that have the same procetion as a credit card.
Any advice welcome....;)

Perhaps pay £100 on a credit card to get the protection and the rest on the debit card.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0

Depending on how your holiday is booked and who its booked through there maybe no need to pay anything on CC
If your holiday is full ATOL and ABTA bonded you can just pay on your debit card, ABTA & ATOL will give you enough financial protection
Thanks

You can pay £20 on a credit card, and the rest on your debit card, but still carry the same protection as the overall product is over £100... Info on that kind of transaction obtained from this site

Doesnt escape the BS card charges you have to pay, sorry cant help there! i get hit with charges everytime i book holiday stuff, its sucks!0 -
thanks for information, I paid the depost by credit card which was over £500 and the rest I think will pay by visa debt card. I should be covered by the deposit payment on my credit card.0
