How much does Disney charge you if you miss a reservation?

Disney charges a $10-to-$25-per-person penalty for missing a reservation, or if you cancel on the day of the meal.



In 2026, the standard no-show fee for most Disney dining reservations is $10 per person. This fee is charged to the credit card provided at the time of booking if the entire party fails to show up. However, Disney’s updated policy allows for fee-free cancellations up to two hours before the scheduled time at most locations via the My Disney Experience app. Some "Enchanting Extra" experiences and high-end dining have stricter rules; for instance, Victoria & Albert’s or dessert parties may charge the full cost of the experience for no-shows. Interestingly, if at least one person from your group checked in, you usually avoid the fee entirely. For the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, a $10 fee applies if you don't cancel at least 24 hours in advance.
