UPDATED 11pm EDT - Important information about 'Be Our Guest Restaurant' reservations needing to be secured by credit card

The scramble to secure reservations for 'Be Our Guest Restaurant' has been in full force since 7am this morning.  As with other popular dining options, Disney are requiring a credit card guarantee for each reservation.  According to our Travel Agent friends who are doing hundreds of these reservations, there has been some issues with Disney's automated system not asking for a credit card at the time of this reservation.  In the event of a reservation not having a credit card, there is a possibility that the reservation will be auto-canceled within 24 hours.
