Signing In The Unknown-Why So Careful?

There is little doubt that most who know of the club would love nothing more than to dine there at least once. A true right of passage for any Disney fan. I was in the same boat, don't feel alone.

I have been asked by quite a few visitors to our site, "why do members hesitate to sign in those they do not know?" Good question actually, with an equally good answer. Responsibility.

A member is responsible for every guest they allow within the club. There have been incidents where a member makes reservations for a person who enters the park, enjoys their day and then departs without fulfilling the requirement they dine at the club. In a case such as this, the member must pay for the persons admission into the park and their guests. You can imagine how that could add up rather quickly.

Another scenario is the guest who dines at the club proceeds to run up a check and then departs without paying either dine & dash style or via complaining about some issue of food or service. Unscrupulous, oh yes. Common, probably not. A definite risk most members are not willing to take.

One cannot blame the cautious person for protecting their membership.
