It's great to see you here today at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Amber!
Character Dining is one of my favorite parts of any Walt Disney World Resort vacation and since I am far from the only person who feels that way it tends to book up pretty quickly, so it's really smart of you to get a head start on thinking about reservations for your upcoming trip this summer.
All advanced dining reservations require a credit card number to booked, but the only Character Dining experience that requires full payment in advance is
Cinderella's Royal Table at
Magic Kingdom Park. Payment in advance with a credit card or
Disney Dining Plan is also required when you're booking dinner shows like
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue or
Disney's Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show. If you are booking any other Character Dining meal, the credit card on file will only be charged if you cancel less than 24 hours before your reservation or miss the meal altogether. You'll receive e-mails to the address associated with your
My Disney Experience account in the days leading up to your reservations, so you have plenty of time to make changes if you want to.
Have a magical day, Amber, and tell Mickey Mouse I said hi!
