I'm sorry you feel that way, but as was said on another thread, it is what it is. People can continue to be upset, but that won't enhance their vacation or make this new policy suddenly go away. I also agree with Disney and think a days notice IS a reasonable amount of time to know if you want to keep an ADR or not. People don't play the dining reservation shuffle outside of the parks, I'm not sure why they think it is acceptable to do at WDW.
I have to say too when we were at the parks last month we somehow had dining credits that we needed to use up. We decided to try and get a last minute ADR in Epcot, and I was pleasantly surprised by the number of restaurants we had to choose from. Another plus for the new system, in my eyes.
I know it is what it is and I have adapted my vacation for it. But I dont have to like it and I can make that abundantly clear to WDW in the hopes that there are enough of us complaining or they see the plan not working they could change or modify it. They are not going to keep something in place that doesnt work or guests dont like, so we can see if it works out.
I have said in this thread before that I think cancelling for true no shows could have the same effect as this 24 hour/one day crap (drives me nuts that this is NOT defined exactly). If myself or my child wakes up at 8am feeling sick, I should be able to cancel a 7pm ADR without having to cough up $40 bucks.
I dont think people should be playing games with their ADRs, we never did, but to not be able to cancel is silly. I could make a reservation today at a local place for 7pm on a Friday night, I could cancel it Friday at 11 am when they open up and not be charged a thing.
