I want to take my cell phone with me when I go on vacationto England (live in US) will it work or should I just break down and buy a disposable one while I am there?

It should depending on your phone type, tri-band, quadi-band etc. Also check with the provider to activate if it is PAYG or with the contract packages to give you cheaper billing package.
Getting another line is quite cheap though if you've got the right phone for it.
I will check with the provider first for options.

yes. most cell phones are tri-band/quad-band. activate your international roaming service (costs a lot though).
or have your cel open-lined from your present provider and buy a pay-as-you-go SIM card in UK.

BUY A PAYG SIM CARD WITH CREDIT AND USE THAT ITS MUCH CHEAPER BUT REMEMBER TO MAKE SURE YOUR NUMBERS ARE ON THE PHONE NOT THE SIM CARD GOOD LUCK FROM A BRIT
