People who sit on multiple ADRs

[mefordis]

Yep, the # of no shows are ridiculous. Some restaurants will seat walk ups when they get the feeling there will be no shows. However, I think some restaurants will not chance it -- like Boma. If you don't have an ADR for dinner forget it.

I accidentally booked Biergarten dinner twice on May 19th... this happened because I had been booking different meals on different days and my handwriting is a mess.

I called a few days later to confirm reservation numbers and caught it then - IMMEDIATELY canceling the error.

The thought of people double-booking TS restaurants makes me pretty angry considering the no-show percentage is out of hand... it's out of hand because there are no consequences for no-shows. What if someone blows off their ADRs the first three days of their trip because they changed their minds and didn't bother cancelling? Do they deserve to have their reservations for the next 6-7 days held still? NO!

double book??? so not fair to others --even B L D on the same day unless you will use ALL of them-----i do book way in advance but have already gotten my DH DS and 2 DDS' favs so i know what to ADR

If we book breakfast lunch and dinner on the same day it is only because we are on the premium dining plan... and yes we do show up for all of our meals...

I have been going to Disney since I was little (over 30 years) and we have never not shown up for a reserved meal!

I would agree with most, it is not fair to double book.

I agree- doublebooking is just not cool. As for no shows, I think DIsney might have fewer people if they made cancelling a little bit easier. Have you ever tried to cancel and be stuck on hold forever.... it annoys the daylights out of me!

Not really an issue if you call later in the day. If you call first thing in the morning, you will be on hold due to those trying to get their first choice ADRs...but call after lunchtime and you shouldn't have to wait at all. That has been my experience.
