Not for something like CRT. In my experience, if you cancel a res, itās going to be snapped up immediately by someone else and thatās it. No castle breakfast for you.
Iāve lucked out and gotten res closer to my travel dates but thatās only when Iāve had the TP reservation finder going.
I tried to get California Grill for our last trip. I had a res for 9:40 (too late for me). I checked daily and had the res finder going and nothing opened up.

Just book the one you want first, cancel the one you donāt after

The money is the big difference - in one they carry the money over to the new Ressie. In the other, they fund it back but you have to put a new one down.
But maybe this is to address hoarding?

Maybe if you book the better time it will give you that error message - āthis overlaps, which donyou wantā. So it will still be a cancel and rebook, but all at the same time.

I booked CRT a few weeks ago and then modified it a few hours later. I was charged twice on my card and credited a few days later.

Good idea! That did not occur to me.
Iām always looking for new res by clicking modify, not by searching for new ones.
But they work the same.

That seems excessive! I know that is how it works at DLR, but I gave them a hard time for it!

This is what Iām hoping. But I donāt think it will have a huge impact. As long as you follow the rules, you eventually get your money back.
I think what it accomplishes, for the ones you canāt modify, is to be more thoughtful of the times you initially book, maybe? I donāt reservation horde so I donāt get how this even helps.
If you really want to stop the hording, charge a $25 cancelation fee 30 days out. This could have an impact IMO.

Thatās a little more than a little excessive.

It is excessive, I agree. But ya gotta admit, it would stop the hording 
Honestly I donāt know what the solution is but I can see how it would be difficult on Disney to have all the resiās booked and then canceled at the last minute. Why they went down to 2 hours is beyond me (if we follow the premise they are trying to stop resi hording).
I will never bother walking up to a restaurant trying to get on a waitlist for a place that I know is a hard to get. Waitlisting requires flexibility. Thatās not always possible at Disney, lol.

One could argue that waitlisting GIVES you flexibility.
Does it fit my plans today right now? Then I do it!
Does it NOT? Then I donāt.
But, I can also see the value of knowing you have something much desired locked-in.

Iāve never wait listed. I always imagine you have to just hang around until you get called. In my mind that could be 20 mins 
or 3 hours 
. I wonder what most peopleās experience in RL actually is. Maybe Iām thinking itās worse than it isā¦

Oh no itās not typically like that. At least so far as Iāve experienced. I mean sure it can be some wait, maybe up to 45 mins, but it can also be like 10 minutes! And I think if it were going to be 3 hrs they would just close it.
I think my longest wait was for Nomad this past January.

Oh, well worth it then! The good thing about Nomads is you can venture D.I. or Pandora while you wait.
Yep. I waited for DāVine with @ThorKat and then we met @Nikkipoooo on our way to the Lounge where we met up with the whole gang who came from all over the park

Instead they should only allow you to book day 1 ADR per day at the 60 day mark. They could allow more closer. I guess they can allow 2 if you have a del is DDP.
