Another DDE Question

[RMAMom]

DH and I are planning to upgrade our tickets to AP and I am considering the DDE Card.

Is the card good for alcoholic drinks? Also can I use the card with the Dinning Plan. We have the deluxe plan for our upcoming trip. We are vacationing without the kids and will spend a lot of money on drinks. Can I use the DDE at restaurants for any part of our dinner that isn't covered under the dinning plan.

Finally, we are staying at the values, can I use the card there at the bar and food court.

Thank you

We've been on the DDP before, and we've used the DDE (now TIW) card for alcohol purchases.

And I just found this list of participating restaurants:

Yes, you can definitely use it for alcohol. I used it at Canada for a take-out bottle of ice wine! Remember, however, that now (not in effect when I did it) if you do get a bottle to go, you will still pay the 18% tip on it.

I'm pretty sure you can use it in the value's food court. We were able to at Pop Century a while back.

Isn't the discount 20% if they are charging 18% on every purchase then where is the savings?

How much would you regularly tip? The savings are only absent if your general procedure would be to never tip at all, or to tip very small amounts.

I usually tip 20% that wasn't what I referring to. Let me rephrase my question.
Do they add 18% to everything For instance If I go into Germany to buy a bottle of wine to take back to my room do they add 18% to that. That is not a situation where a tip is warranted so my 20% discount would be reduces to 2%
What about a bottle of beer for DH at the food court, also not a tipping situation, do they add 18%?

Food courts and CS that accept TIW do not add tips. I really don't know where one buys a bottle of wine to go on TIW in Germany - if you buy it in the restaurant, then yes, they'll add the tip.
