Update on Zero deposit Ressie

[Ityldu]

I made a ressie through CRO and was told I could guarantee my room with a credit card and no deposit. When I received the confirmation it stated the total amount of the ressie, said guaranteed with a credit card and also said Deposit Amount Due: $.00.

Well, it's now three weeks later and I just realized that it also says, in small print - Total package amount is due by 5/31/02. This is exactly 21 days prior to our trip. When making ressie and on two subsequent calls, I confirmed that this was not a WDTC ressie and therefore would not have all the weird cancellation policies.

I just called Disney to question this and was informed that they need something to hold the room, so if they don't get a deposit, they need the total amount due 21 days prior. With two little kids, I'm not comfortable committing all my money that far out, they told me my other option would be to charge my cc for one nights deposit. I went for that option.

Where is your small print stating this?
My no deposit ressies were made through CRO, and it reads "Guaranteed by credit card" "Deposit Due $.00"
I've read and read my confirmation and don't see anything about $ due prior to check in. (CIF room only pkg)

Going up, from the red dotted line my confirmation reads as follows:

CHECK IN AFTER : 3:00PM CHECK OUT BEFORE : 11:00AM

Hope you can understand this. It wouldn't surprise me at all if everyone's is different. It seems there are as many answers as there are CM's. My CM did put me on hold for a very long time while she confered with a manager to see how to deal with this.
