Another Newbie ?, this one about dining?

[Brook1099]

If staying 7 nights in each resort(1 week WL , 1 wk OKW) due we have to book 7 nights of dining for each resort. We are thinking of only due 5 nights @ each and due we have to pay for at the time of booking? How is TIW opposed to DDP. We do enjoy some Signature restaraunts, and have a few 1 TS favorites.

TIA Brenda

You have to book the DDP for all nights of your stay and for every member of your traveling party.

yes.
you can book for just one of your stays however, as different resorts/rooms are considered seperate reservations.

TIW is currently only available to Fla residents ($100) and AP holders ($75). it gives a 20% discount on most table service and many CS, including alcohol (excluding tax and tip, of course). an 18% tip is automatically added.

Once you book the DDP, you need to pay for it immediately. But you do not need to add DDP at the time of the resort booking. You do need to add it at least 48 hrs of check in.

It was announced at the DVC Annual meeting that the TiW will be available to DVCers without an Annual pass. Most people here are assuming it will be at the regular Fl Resident rate, not the discounted AP rate, but there has been nothing official from DVC as to price or when it will actually become available.
