Change is Coming for Advance Dining Reservation Cancellations

News out here in cyberspace has it that come October 26, the policy regarding the cancellation of an Advance Dining Reservation (or ADR) will change.

Here's what guests need to know: if you make a reservation after October 26 to select restaurants and fail to use said reservation or cancel it, you'll be charged $10. Also, guests wanting to cancel an ADR must give a full day's notice in order to forgo the fee. Guests should also be prepared to start giving their credit card number when they make an ADR on or after October 26.

Restaurants included in the cancellation-fee list are:

• 1900 Park Fare
• Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
• Artist Point
• California Grill

Victoria & Albert's is also included in the list. Guests should know the cancellation fee for this popular restaurant rises to $25.

Also, guests failing to cancel a reservation for a pre-paid meal with entertainment at least one day in advance can also expect to be charged the full amount as a fee. There are four of those shows participating in this policy, including:

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