Hard Ticket Event reservations. You are making a reservation during an event which requires the purchase of a separately priced event admission ticket. Note: The number of tickets available is limited for special events. Events may sell out early. Special event tickets are valid only during specific event dates and hours.

You must prepay for this dining reservation, whereas others there is no fee upfront.

That usually means that you are booking during something like MNSSHP where they want you to know that you must have a ticket to that to eat in the park. I don't know of any special event that day though and you always need regular admission to eat in a park, so I'm not sure what that is about.

I'm with BrianL on this one. That's the warning you typically get if you are making a dining reservation during MNSSHP or MVMCP when a separate, event ticket is required to stay in the park for the event, in addition to a regular admission ticket. There are no special, hard-ticket events going on right now in any of the parks, so, my guess is this is some kind of glitch. What is the date and time of your reservation? The $154 charge simply indicates you pre-paid for your meal - so you are good there!

And usually requires a cancel policy that is stricter than the normal advanced dining reservations. I think it was a 2 day cancel policy for refund!
