Dear Sharon,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for stopping by with your question! It's great to hear that you have purchased the most comprehensive meal plan available and that you will be using your credits to dine at my favorite storybook-like dining location in the world, Cinderella's Royal Table!
It turns out, Sharon, that some dining experiences (
Dinner Shows,
Dining & Dessert Events, etc.) such as
Cinderella's Royal Table require prepayment at the time of booking so you are correct when saying that the system prompts you to provide your credit card information. In this case, it is the only way to finalize the reservation and guarantee a spot. You have nothing to worry about, though, as your credit card will only be kept "on file" in order to guarantee your reservation in case you do not show up that day or try to cancel it less than the 24-hour cancellation window. Once you are at your dining location, be sure to inform your server that you and your party are on the
Deluxe Dining Plan, and then your credit card will not be charged, but instead your credits will be redeemed.
I hope my answer helps you plan your vacation. Please come back and see us if you have any more questions.
Happy Disney Dining,
~Desiree
