Visited my mate for four days last week in Orlando, and had decent fun.

Got to go to Downtown Disney (the free part with lotsa shops) where his roommate worked,

All of the gas stations in Florida (I don't know about elsewhere) have lower cash prices. It's not that the actual gas price is higher, it's that gas stations are giving a small discount for using cash instead of credit or debit cards, because credit card processors have a per-transaction fee and/or a percentage of the monies charged. Using cash saves the gas station owner more money.
