New Online ADR System

[thumperbug]

The "rumor" I heard is instead of ADR's being linked to your name or phone # it will be linked to your reservation number.

The plan is to avoid people making multiple reservations for the same day/time/meal and then being a no show at some of them once they decide which they want to dine at. But I can see how this could be a problem if a party splits up and wants to dine at different places.

I also "hear" that when you check in, you will get a print out of all your ADR's day/time/# since they will be linked to your reservation #.

I also hear that the online system coming to life is just another "rumor".

Again...just "rumors". You know how those can be. Hey, I have my ADR's for my next trip....thats all I care about.

I don't think the intention was ever to charge you as a fee or increase the cost of dining or tipping, but as insurance to make sure the system is no longer abused. Once you make your reservation I would think the hold would either be credited to your bill or more likely back to your room or credit card at the time you go to the dining establishment or cancel the reservation. They want to make it easier for people to get into these places to eat.

I also see this would also benefit Disney in three ways.

1. It would cut back on employee time booking unnecessary reservations
2. It would allow more people access to the restaurants
3 It will fill them with actual paying customers by allowing empty tables to be given to walk ups and not remaining empty based on false reservations.

Anyways. Just my two cents!

It is a great idea. We had to pay for Cindy's Royal Table in advance anyway so why not online?
