I'm guessing the US banks must be more difficult to deal with.
With either of my RBC CC's here in Canada they would have that hold off in 5 secs after a quick call. Their customer service is top notch with stuff like that.
I would never use my debit card at a hotel. My CC's have all kinds of protection they provide against all the problems people are worried about.
I honestly probably wouldn't even notice the hold everyone is worried about. I do think it's stupid though if they make a bunch of small charges to my card instead of one big one. I'll continue to charge everything to my MB, that's one of the great convenience's of a WDW vacation.
