As I understand it their system won't allow this anymore. Period. I suppose you could book under different names with different cards, but aside from that...Quote:

Though it could have been avoided if I would have taken the weather I to account (though it is tough in Florida in August) I was able to cancel my ADR at guest services... I'm sure they will be understanding in extenuating circumstances... But this was an odd isolated incident... I think they are trying to fix the problems of the "blow-offs"... Coming home to $50 in charges for blowing off a few reservations will make people think twice the next trip...Quote:

But, from what I've heard the new system does have some kind of fail safe involved that can spot multiple ADRs. I don't know if it only applies to those with a reservation number or not...
How has all this talk about ADR's get into enforcement of fastpasses
I guess they couldn't do it for each party, unless you are a party of six and are making two different 3-person reservations or something like that. Not every party is going to want to eat every meal together, so it's feasible that a group could need more than one reservation for a particular time. But not two four-person reservations for a party of four.
Oh yeah, I'm sure it's no easy task. Unless you're a party of two with three different ADRs for lunch on the same day. That kind of thing...
Not sure, really. But, veering off topic is what makes the intertubes such a fun place to hang out. :)Quote:

Yeah I take blame for it since I related ADR's to Fastpasses and returning ontime for both. Kind of like my term paper in Political Science arguing the similarities between NAFTA & The European Union which wasn't nearly as enjoyable a read as Disney topics are.
It was a streamline transition. First came the ADR's changes and now the FP. Ultimately discussing the XPass which some in theory believe there is the possibility of merging many forms including these two into a pre-arrival reservation system for your entire vacation. Refilling your souvenir cup included.Quote:

For the ressies, there's a reason Disney is now charging you $10 if you are a no-show for your reservation. (for the nice restaurants at least).Quote:

It will help truly determine the wait times, I feel.
It's $100 a head if you no call/no show at the Chef's table at Citrico's.
Yeh that'd really make you rethink the whole blowing off idea... Might as well eat there... It's $100 no matter what...
