Walt Disney to charge for no-shows

If you make reservations at some of Walt Disney World's most popular restaurants and have a last-minute change of plans, it could cost you.

Beginning Oct. 26, customers making dinner reservations at many of the resort's better restaurants will be asked for a credit card number. If they don't cancel at least 24 hours in advance, the card will be charged $10 per person.

The new policy applies to 19 signature restaurants at the resort, including the upscale Victoria & Albert's, where the tab for no-shows will be $25 per person.

Currently, four Disney World dining venues, Cinderella's Royal Table, Disney's Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show, Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, and Mickey's Backyard BBQ, which require pre-paid tickets, don't offer refunds for cancellations made less than a day in advance.

WDWMagic.com says the penalty is aimed at ensuring greater availability at its most popular eateries.

So make sure you read the fine print and plan ahead.
