Walt Disney World Resort Altering Hotel Policy on Payment Card Authorization Holds

Beginning February 27, Walt Disney World Resort hotels will be altering their payment card policy to better align with typical hotel industry practices.

  • Under the new policy, Walt Disney World Resort hotels will place incremental authorization holds on the guest’s payment card for estimated incidental expenses.
  • While this is a normal practice for hotels, Walt Disney World Resort hotels do not currently place any holds on guests’ cards.
  • Guests have the option to not put a credit card on file but they will then be unable to charge to their room or MagicBand.
  • An alert of the policy change will be sent to guests in the My Disney Experience App during their online check-in.
