No ParkHopper, I meant that we have two different days that we are eating there. And what I meant was I made these 90 days out before the new rule. I was told I was ok with them, but I will invest one more call today to be sure. As for the Thchop Chop they confirmed our ressies but Emeril's would not until the day of ressie.

Franco, I think you'll enjoy Emeril's. DW and I were there a couple of weeks ago and had a fabulous meal with service that even surpassed anything at WDW.

In the case of a true unforeseen emergency WDW will usually not charge you. We had reservations for HDDR on Christmas 2005. Five members of our party did not get there in time for the reservation as a result of a 6 hour plane delay and WDW credited us the charges for those who couldn't make it. I was expecting to just have to loose the money- but the CM helped me out and we had our four person dinner instead of 9.

I ahve no problem with giving a credit card to hold a ressie. We have eaten at the CG before and yes it is always full, but it is also a very popular place. Maybe Disney is having problemswith same day cancellations.

We were at Disney for hurricane Charley. I was there with my DD and my husband was supposed to come down and join us for the rest of our trip. We had a reservation with the Fantasmic dinning package. Well anyhow due to the Hurricane DH never made it to Florida and we had to cancel his part of the Dinnig package. Disney did allow us to.
So I am pretty sure that in real emergency situations...Disney will help out and not charge your CC for a cancelation.

It is $20 per person. I know it is ridiculous but the place is well worth it. Considering that it took us almost 3 hours to wine and dine with personal attention from our server, it was well worth it for our group. And every person going knows that if they don't come, its $20. And I am sure that if it was a true emergency, they would not charge you. I know that this policy was in place a CG in March 2004, the last time we dined there.

It is a 3 hour meal? Really? I have a 9:00 res becuase I wanted to be sure we saw the fireworks. This sounds like I'll see goofy sking in the morning also.
