most ps's are done without the use of a credit card, but some popular ones ask for your card no.so that if you dont turn up they will deduct $10 from your card for each person.
think this is right!!
Hi there they do take a $10 deposit for some of the character meals. I have PS's for Princess Storybook breakfast and they did deduct a $10 for each adult and $5 for each child. I believe they do the same for CRT too....and for the Mickey BBQ full payment is now required when booking. MGM fantasmic dinner packages also require credit card details/payment.
However most of the other PS's dont require cc details.
I know they took a deposit off my card for the hoop-de-doo-revue. Mostly though, you can make PS's and there will be no penalty for a no-show. (Please don't flame me, I am not suggesting this is a good idea, I just know it happens)
