Be Our Guest $308 Reservation Charge?

[Sargeant Tibbs]

Because the OP hasn't returned, I'm going to wager a guess that the $308 was a charge for a different purchase that the OP momentarily forgot about.

Yes, so curious what this hold is/

Lorimay the "Hold" is placed on your credit card. You place your ADR (Advanced Dinning Reservation) date with the restaurant and then a hold is placed on your credit card for the amount of money. Like other posters said your credit card will only be charged if you are a no show. This helps keep people form making a lot of unnecessary ADR's.

But any hold at BOG should only be $10 per person, right? You're not responsible for the entire bill by not showing. You would only be responsible for $10/person.

I am very familiar with how dining reservations work.
I was curious as to why this person had a $308 hold for BOG when they don't make you pay upfront.
I was hoping she would come back and explain.

Maybe they booked the wrong castle? Cinderella’s instead of the Beast’s

Lorimay, OK that makes sense ...... Looks like OP isn't responding anytime soon

No. Any hold would only be for $1 total. That's how they validate the credit card. They don't pre-authorize for the no-show fee.

I understand that. But nothing about this seems typical. Just fleshing out some potential alternate scenarios.

Funny I'm on hold with Disney for this very reason. Same day I booked BOG for four people (2 adults, 2 kids) I was charged 209.16 by WDW Reservations.

Hope you get an answer soon …

It turns out it IS for CRT--they just didn't charge us the day we made the reservation, it showed up a day or so later which happened to be when we booked BOG.
