Reservations that are made on or after Oct. 26, 2011 at some of the busiest Disney restaurants will be charged a $10 per person fee if they are not used or canceled with a full day’s notice to avoid the cancellation fee. Guests will be required to provide a credit card with reservations made on or after Oct. 26, 2011. If you find yourself needing to cancel one of your ADR’s you can call Disney at 407-WDW-DINE or (407) WDW-CNCL , go online at DisneyWorld.com. You can also go to any of the guest relations help desks at any of the theme parks, your Disney Resort front desk and concierge, or a table-service restaurant podium.   The restaurants added to this new policy include:

• 1900 Park Fare
• Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
• Artist Point
• California Grill
• Cape May Café
• Chef Mickey’s
• Cítricos
• The Crystal Palace
• Flying Fish Café
• The Garden Grill
• Hollywood & Vine
• Jiko – The Cooking Place
• Le Cellier Steakhouse
• Narcoossee’s
• O’hana
• Tusker House Restaurant
• The Hollywood Brown Derby
• Yachtsman Steakhouse
• Victoria & Albert’s -cancellation policy fee is higher $25 per person

  Pre-paid dinner shows will continue to charge the full amount if the reservation is not canceled at least one day in advance as usual.

• Cinderella’s Royal Table
• Disney’s Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show
• Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue
• Mickey’s Backyard BBQ

I am hoping that this new policy will be a positive effect on being able to secure reservations at the popular Disney restaurants, especially during free dining. Hopefully the old fashioned walk-up will be like it was before.
