Absolutely call your issuers beforehand.
We called all our credit card companies before we took a family vacation to Paris, Munich, and Salzburg in 2009. My AMEX card was rejected at the bahnhof in Munich but they accepted my VISA card.
Two days later it's locked up because someone had jammed a few thousand dollars worth of charges on it. Ended up using my ATM card for cash the remainder of the trip. [Charges were reversed eventually).
Of course, same thing just happened in San Diego. Took the kids to Legoland in Carlsbad two weeks ago and bought the tickets on a VISA card, used the card later that day at an outlet store and a restaurant. Got home and two days later that same card was dinged for $525 for DisneyLand tickets bought online. [Charge was reversed.]
