Following a systems update last night, guests can now make same-day cancelations of dining reservations as long as they cancel more than 2 hours prior to their reservation time. Scott Gustin was the first to report this change.

Previously, guests who wanted to make a same-day cancelation of a dining reservation were required to contact Disney World to make the cancelation and avoid a no-show fee. Now, guests who cancel more than 2 hours before the dining reservation can do so within the My Disney Experience app without the need to contact Disney. Canceling in the My Disney Experience app also avoids the no-show fee which is typically $10 per person.

Disney has not updated its dining reservation policy, which still reads:

You must cancel at least one day prior to your reservation to avoid a per person cancellation fee. If you fail to cancel timely and are a no show, the credit card provided at the time of reservation will be charged $10.00 per person

The ability to cancel a same-day reservation in the My Disney Experience app does not appear to be working for pre-paid dining experiences.
