Restaurant change

So now that you can modify existing reservations with the app could you change a reservation for today to tomorrow and then cancel it without being charged since then it would be outside of 24 hours

No. Changing means you cancel one and replace it with the other. You'll be charged for cancelling the one today.

I don't know for sure about online, but we have done that by phone several times. In fact, it was the CMs idea. We called to cancel due to illness, but were inside the 24 hour period, and she suggested we reschedule for a future day and then call to cancel that one ASAP. No charge.

Not any more- I have the same reservation number since you can directly modify a reservation online now

On the day-of, it's already in the hands of the restaurant. While a CM could override the charge, the restaurant manager will be processing it.

I will report back if I get charged- I was not warned that changing my reservation would generate a charge so I will also dispute if it does- will report back - doesn't seem like anyone has done it since the change to allow in app modification

Happy to say that it worked

Had an ADR for Le Cellier at 1240 on Friday January 29 and moved it using the app to on Friday--> Saturday January 30th at 210

I was not charged a cancellation fee for the Friday reservation- good information for the future

Another chat in a certain app sponsored by a website that helps you plan your touring confirms that this is a way to avoid cancellation fees.

Very interesting. What time on Friday did you make the change?

Made the change at about 11:00 AM as we were walking by Jungle Cruise and there was no wait.

Did you later cancel the Saturday reservation? I wonder what happens if there's no availability to move the ADR to.

Wouldn't it just have to be more than 24 hours out? You could pick any random time that has an opening in the future, right? It wouldn't have to be on your trip even.

Another glitch that Disney has to cover. Can people not refrain from trying to work the system, especially when they know they are trying to get away with something. Sigh. Only a matter of time before they have a fix, and it will more than likely be something no one likes.
