It is interesting that things like this are usually rumored for a while but this one seems to have caught everyone by surprise. A really nice surprise at that!

Passholders, regardless of residency, are now eligible for
membership in the Disney Dining Experience, and they can receive

a party of up to 10). Membership also includes complimentary
resort and theme park parking for dining, as well as invitations

EDITOR'S NOTE: According to the customer service representative
when I ordered mine (just now!), demand has been high, so allow
4-6 weeks for processing. If you will be visiting Walt Disney
World before you receive your membership card, they will email a
letter for you to use in its place.<<<<

A VERY welcomed surprise indeed. Is this the first sign that we DVCers are finally being considered "FL residents"?!?

 

[mckryan]

The DDE card is now available to all AP holders, not just DVC AP holders.
