Changes to DDE discounts

[Tiger926]

I was wondering that myself, Chuck. So what is the place that's listed under Pop Century - Classic Conconctions - is this their resort shop? I guess I'm confused as to why they have a place listed at Pop, but not at the other Value resorts?

We never stay at Value resorts, but we have friends who do, so I'd be interested in seeing how the new changes play out!

Hi,

I just called DDE and asked them about POFQ, POR, POP and All Stars.
The lady was very nice and said you can use your DDE card at ALL of them. She said the restaurant list is the same as last year. She said she been getting alot of call this afternoon about which restaurants were still accepting the DDE card. Also it is $60 for one card and an extra $25 for another person (she said it can be another family member or companion)..Okay I'm calling my friends who are going to WDW this year to see if they want to split a DDE card with me.

I was afraid of this... All that "We have to have a resturant" whining suceeded and now the DDE is not near as useful at SSR!

Exactly..I don't see why we can't still get the DDE at AP and have full svc at Turfs club. Why must we have one or the other??

That's the way DDE works, if a resort has a TS, it isn't valid at the CS.

Just to check how many people is a DDE card good for?

Many thanks

Thanks for posting this, I only hope the lady you spoke to wasn't relaying untrue info....sometimes the CMs seem to be "the last to know" about changes. We do like the POP food court for light dinners.

...So what is the place that's listed under Pop Century - Classic Conconctions

To the left of the dessert area & the food court, Classic Concoctions is POP's bar.

Hey thanks! We don't drink, so that's not important to us. We didn't go into the Turf Club last year, so would it be ok to each lunch here with our 3 year old DD? What did you think of the atmosphere?

Good to hear it will be open for our July trip as going to Downtown Disney is not always such an attractive option in the hot, July sun!

You're welcome!!

Our family had lunch there and we had my 2 DS's (6 and 8) and my niece (2) with us. There were a couple of tables of golfers and a nice lady enjoying the cheese plate. We did order and pay at the bar, but our food was served to us at the table on palette shaped plates and tall glasses . It was nice and quiet and you can watch the Ferry boats dock because we had a nice table by the window. After lunch Dh and the boys saw the DTD Ferry dock and ran to get on it to go to DQ. So a good place for a bite before a boat ride to fun.

If you dont drink, I would highly recommend the Sour Apple Freeze. It is made with Monin Syrup and my DS (6) wanted one of his own after he tasted mine.

Another time, Dh and the boys wanted AP and I wanted TC so I ordered and then took my plate over to AP so they could color on the easels for a more counter service meal.

I really hope they keep the TC open after the actual restaurant opens. It was like a combination of counter service and table service and I could still use the DDE. Dh watched the Rose Bowl there too and they had a nice little crowd!

Mark and Sue,
The DDE is good for parties up to 10.

Thank you Liferbabe. There are 9 of us altogether so this is looking better and better together with the information that I can order the PAP by phone and then order DDE all before we go away so won't need to mess around once arriving at SSR.

Many thanks.

Between DDE, AP and DVC dining discounts it's getting hard to keep track of what sort of discount applies at each place. Maybe some enterprising person will create a handy chart that can be printed and carried along on trips that lists each restaurant and what sort of discount they offer.

I think this is the closest thing I have seen.

That is exactly what I had in mind. Thank you so much for posting that link!

 

[Tiger926]

Thanks for this link - I hadn't seen this chart before! It's great!

Liferbabe - Thanks for awesome review of Turf's Club - sounds like we'll like it very much!

Chuck S - Thanks for the info re: Classic Concoctions!

I guess we'll have to wait and see if DDE is accepted at Value Resorts/Pop Century over the next little while.

Happy eating, Tiger

Thanks Charlotte for this link. I have printed it and will keep it in my bag. The different discounts can get confusing.

Thanks Liferbabe for all the info on The Turf Club. I am looking forward to trying it next month.

Great chart! I had not seen that before. I saved it and will print it out for our March trip.

Every time I look at that chart I think, "man, if only these were cumulative!"
