It has to be said that over the last few years, new policies and procedures at Disneyland and Walt Disney World haven’t exactly made your theme park vacation easy. From the frustrating reservation system to the addition of Genie+, to the new variable pricing of Genie+, along with increased prices overall, planning your Disney trip has gotten complicated. But the newest change may actually make things a bit easier, as you can now cancel your dining reservations on the same day without paying an added fee.
Previously, dining reservations at Walt Disney World or Disneyland generally required that any cancellations happen 24 hours or more in advance, otherwise, you’d be charged $10 per person in the reservation. However, a new update to the apps for both resorts (via Scott Gustin) now changes the cancellation deadline to only two hours prior to the reservation. The only caveat being that some locations actually require prepayment rather than just a credit card hold, and it doesn’t appear there is a refund if you cancel those.
