Last year while spending Thanksgiving week at BCV, we opted to have our Thanksgiving dinner at Cape May. We called for reservations and although our desired times were already full we selected a time which would work for us.
On Thanksgiving Day I had a few occasions to walk past Cape May and noticed that the dining room was not full. Two days later I ask the CM about the lack of guest at the Thanksgiving diner and was told that many of the guests did not show up for there scheduled reservation. She also stated that many people had made multiple reservations at various places and then picked the one they wanted to go to and neglected to cancel the others.
This is where I have a question. As DVC members and persons who are more likely to desire reservations in the vicinity of the resorts, do you believe when making a reservation for a holiday, such as Thanksgiving, a credit card should be required and that in the event of a no show that this card should be charged for a meal or two?
