    Hi, I'm trying to make Spirit of Aloha reservations with our dinning plan but through the website it requires a credit card and says the card will be charged the full amount today. How do I make a reservation with the dinning plan?

    Hi, Rafaela! While they are in the minority, there are a few dining experiences at Walt Disney World Resort, including Spirit of Aloha, that require a credit card payment to hold the reservation. However, when you arrive for the meal, you can pay for it using any method you prefer.  You could choose to pay cash, use a different credit card, pay with traveler's checks, redeem Disney Dollars or Disney Gift Cards, or, like in your case, utilize Disney Dining Plan credits. Simply tell the Cast Member serving you how you'd like to make your payment. Since you want to use your Disney Dining Plan instead of your credit card, the Cast Member will refund the purchase price to the credit card and deduct the Disney Dining Plan credits from your account. Be sure to bring the credit card you used to hold the reservation and your Key to the World card with you to the meal.  Happy planning and have a Magical vacation!
