Can I use TIW for drinks only?

[JenG]

I will be purchasing an AP this year as I have 3 trips planned. I would like to sit at Rose and Crown and have a few beers with my DH (no kid trip!!). Do I need to order food too?

No need to order food. Enjoy!

Absolut - ly

makes it more of a challenge to make up the $70 fee, but if you work hard at it ......

Yes, and you can also use the card at most bars/lounges if you want to get a drink there, too. I love TiW!

Works for me!

Oh, good grief! I NEVER even thought about that. We did a "drink around the world" trip in April and never once pulled out the TiW card when we weren't ordering food. It just didn't cross my mind. Now I feel like such a big dummy!!! Thanks for the heads up, everyone. I certainly won't make that mistake again!

P.S. - It's so funny how things change over a lifetime. Our first 14 years of trips, we never had a single drop of alcohol on trips... we never drank with the kids around until the youngest hit 18. At that point, we would order wine or beer occasionally with a meal. Once the youngest could join us for F&W events, the trips took on a different hue. I suppose when grandchildren come along, we'll be back to tea-totalling again!

Yes, indeed. This is where my 1-2 punch of DxDP and TIW worked out very well. I could go to, say, California Grill and valet park using my TIW card. I could order my meal using DxDP and add wine and an extra appetizer (cheese course in this case). The wine & cheese were rung on a separate receipt with the TIW discount applied. That receipt could then be used to validate my free valet parking.

Sadly there are a few places that do not accept the TiW card -- yes we've tried. No at the margarita stand(s), no at the pool bars, no at High-Octane (Studios). Normally they only accept it at inside "lounges" -- i.e. Tune Inn lounge is a good choice at the Studios. So take the challenge and let us know how it works out for you. I wish they would take it at the F&W festival kiosk(s), now that would be a challenge.

Thank you all! Maybe I will put it in a lanyard around my neck and see where it flies.

I will be eating as well - but without the kids - there will be alot of drinking too.

I am really looking forward to lots of TS meals - with 3 kids under 6, we can never sit anywhere except Biergarten.

They do accept it at Rose and Crown, so it is worth the trip inside to the bar

Is the average cost of drinks standardized across Disney? And if so, what is the average? I am guessing around $10 plus tip. If so, then using the TIW could really be a bonus.
