Is the Disney Site Secure?

[jackal]

I was going to make an ADR this morning that required a credit card hold online, but I did not see that the site is a secured site. There was no "lock" on the page showing it was a secured site. How can that be? Does anyone know what Disney has to make their site secure for cc payments?

That would make me very uncomfortable as well!

I am going to be completely honest, I don't know that I would trust any reassurance I got here on a message board. For an issue of security such as this, I would only really trust what I saw (https, etc) or information obtained directly from Disney's IT department. (I'd also keep a good record of who gave me that assurance).

Actually, if it doesn't look secure (https), I am not sure that I'd even trust it if Disney assured me. I am quite paranoid about stuff like that.

Thanks for the warning though, it's a good reminder to make sure you look at things like this before giving your CC number online.

The Disney site states that it is a cybertrust secured website. I do get a lock on the page to make a room ressie payment. It also says this: All credit card transactions are securely encrypted.
So if it is secure for that it should be secure for the dinner ressies.
It's not my time to make ADRs so I can't look for you. Sorry!

After I said not to trust anyone...


I tried to reserve CRT for October 24 (hey I had no problem 2 hours after online opened!) and the confirmation page looks like this.
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/store/payment

The S indicates it's secure, but go and check it out for yourself to make sure that it's secure.

Okay, I went and did a mock ADR for a dinner show and when it gets to the checkout page where it asks for CC info there was a lock in my address bar.
