Walt Disney World Credit Card Authorization Policy Change

Beginning on Feb. 27, 2019, Walt Disney World® Resort hotels will have a new payment card policy for guests who wish to put a payment card on file that better aligns with hotel industry practices. Under the new policy, Disney Resort hotels will place incremental authorization holds on the card for estimated incidental expenses, in addition to any balance due on the reservation.
Guests have the option of not putting a credit card on file, but they will be unable to charge to their room or MagicBand.
Guests will be advised of the payment card policy during online check-in through their My Disney Experience account or at the front desk.
