Since no one has touched on this... I thought the reason behind a credit card deposit was because of this very question. I remember some time ago there was this guy that would book your Cinderella's breakfast for you. You told him what day, time and the name and number of your party. Maybe you had to work and couldn't call... I don't know. Well, he was making all of these reservations under different names (of course). So, now when you make a reservation it has to be the person named on the credit card that checks in at the restaurant. I could be wrong. And I have been trying for over two months for breakfast any day for the week of Dec. 4th. I still try, everyday. Good luck!
