Dining Plan vs Tables in Wonderland

[EPCOTatNight]

I think that it is a bit of a stretch to consider the TIW break even at $1000 for DVC members. As MsTessP pointed out, the DVC discount does not include alcoholic beverages. About 20% of the DVC discount locations only works for lunch. And, the only character experience that the DVC discount works for is Hollywood and Vine (woo-boo).

If you look at the Allears comparison chart, you will see that the DVC discount does not cover most of the same places as TIW, but rather it is less than half of the locations covered by TIW.

Granted, the TIW has some blackout dates that may not make the card useful to some travelers. It really comes down to how you dine at WDW as to whether the TIW is a value to you and your traveling party. But, given the limits of the DVC discount, I would not consider it a reasonable equivalent to the TIW.

Garden Grove has a Character Breakfast that gets 20% off with DVC discount.

Good point. Missed that one; so I guess there are two character experiences that accept the DVC discount. We have never been to that restaurant; but after a brief review of this character meal option, I am going to hand out another "woo-hoo".
