Dining reservations ?

[longneckthree]

My resort stay starts Dec. 11, according to the DVC website 180 days away.
Why can't I make dining reservations on the website or by calling dining?
TIA

You can do so tomorrow. You are technically 181 days out (180 days + x hours).

When you make your reservations, be sure you cancel if you change your mind. Disney now requires a credit card that will be charged $10/person if you are a "no-show".

Only select dining locations require a CC guarantee.

When did they start this? We went last summer and it wasnt like this.

Not all restaurants require a CC guarantee. It's mainly at the Signature locations.

Crystal Palace (our fav!) is one of them.

When we went in January to Crystal Palace it was not like that. When we went on in April to book for June the message (about the $10 no-show fee) was there. Seems fair to me. They turn a lot of people away with the long wait to 'walk in'. If too many people don't show, they may not necessarily have someone to take the spots...
