I remember the hullabaloo on the boards when this started, and a lot of wailing and nashing of teeth, and threats to not go to WDW anymore because of it. So much of it seemed to be speculation, misinformation, and overreaction, as seems to happen so frequently on the boards, that I just did not pay attention. Now that time has passed and the horror of it all has shaken out, I still find it hard to understand and believe they did this.
Why did they start it? Were people charging more than they realized and then unable to pay? Did WDW not realize this would/could happen with Magic Bands?
Do they really charge back to your credit card for every daily total over $100? One character meal is over $50 before tax and tip. It would be pretty tough to not exceed $100 daily with a party of 4, perhaps even 2. Years ago it used to be 500 for value, 1000 for moderate, and 1500 for deluxe room charge before it was billed to your credit card. With prices the last how many years, those threshold would have to be raised significantly. Charging daily if over $100 seems incredibly low.
