I believe that the Fantasmic dinner packages are specifically excluded from the DDE program. Of course, I can't find the info that came with our cards now, but this is my recollection.
We ate at H&V in August and was able to use the DDE discount . I don't see why you wouldn't be able to since there is no added expense for Fantasmic package. We made adr for Oct H&V fantasmic package and told CM we had card and she didn't say we wouldn't receive discount.
We have a FDP at H&v in October. I didn't realize that this was excluded. I wonder why it would be? Seeing were going in the off season I may just switch that to a regular adr rather than go with the package. We are a family of 5 with 2 DS15, DDE saves us a LOT of $$.
Are we all talking about the same DDE (disney dining experience 20% off all TS meals) card that annual passholders and florida residents can get, because I can't find anything on this site or allearsnet that says Fantasmic package is excluded. They both mention the other meals that are excluded.
I have the DDE card...and I am doing the FDP at HBD in Oct. You can bet that I will politely ask for the CM to honor it. If he/she says no, I will not fight it...no biggie. Doesn't hurt to ask, though.
I have the paperwork in front of me, FDP and CP are excluded. However, people usiung H&V may get it anyway as they pay the same prce as everyone else. At the other resturants it is a specific package price so there is less flexability.
