ADR 'charges' for no-shows

[RDP]

I agree. I think it makes the whole system fairer. I'm definitely not trying to play the system or gripe about it.

Totally agree, it makes sense to thoroughly understand the system or you could get caught out

for our last trip last february-march we had to input our credit card number on every ADR we made.
I see that you're 3 days out of your 180 days window. So I guess you'll soon find out for yourself.

here is a list according to "mouse for less" (it's not up to date, because I seem to recall the Boma's required a CC and it's not on the list)

How long has that been in place? I ate at several of those from that list and wasn't asked for cc for any.

MY adr window is Saturday so only 5 days away, wouldn't matter if I needed to pay in full or use a card, I've just never had to before.

looking at your sig your last ADRs were 3 years ago. Mine were made in october/december 2011 for feb/march 2012. So somewhere in between they implemented the credit card requirement.

Maybe I was "lucky" and only picked the restaurants that required the CC, lol
I checked and Boma's didn't require CC

Here are the policies (copy & paste from my confirmation emails)

If it helps I did my ADRs today. I got asked for a CC on Tusker House, Citricos, Artist Point and I am expecting to get asked for one on Cali Grill. Was surprised that I was not asked for one for Shulas.

I must admit I was not surprised at being asked for a CC as so many people have been talking about the people who make the multiple ADRs for the same time etc. I am glad Disney are cracking down on this and making it fairer for people.
