WDW: Restaurant Cancellation Policy Update

The Walt Disney World Resort will soon apply their new cancellation policy to all the on-site table-service restaurants, including those not directly owned by the Walt Disney Company (e.g. Rainforest Cafe). Learn more:

"To provide consistency across our operation, adjustments will be made to the Walt Disney World Resort cancellation policy beginning October 31, 2013. At that time, all table-service locations at Walt Disney World Resort (including Operating Participants) will begin using the cancellation policy already in place at select restaurants on property. Beginning October 31, when booking a reservation at these restaurants, Guests will be required to provide a credit card to hold a reservation. A charge of $10 per person will be applied if the cancellation isn't made at least one day in advance.

Pre-paid locations will continue to retain the full, pre-paid amount if Guests are unable to honor the reservation and are unable to cancel the reservation one day in advance. Special dining events and packages such as Fantasmic! packages, or Victoria & Albert’s reservations may have different cancellation requirements.

A special phone line that only handles dining cancellations is available for Guests: 407-WDW-CNCL.

Dining reservations may be booked or cancelled by visiting any table-service restaurant podium, Walt Disney World Resort Hotel concierge or Guest Relations, or by calling 407-WDW-DINE or DVC Member Services (for Members only, 800-800-9800). Guests may also make and cancel reservations by visiting www.DisneyWorld.com/Dining.

Guests with questions about a cancellation policy for a dining reservation are encouraged to visit any table-service restaurant podium, Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Concierge or Guest Relations, or by calling 407-WDW-DINE or DVC Member Services (for Members only, 800-500-9800)."
