Dining plan with DVC

[TinkABoutIt]

What is available for dining plans when in DVC? For instance, can you get a magic your way package? I know you get some sort of discount with your DVC...what is the best way? (family of 6)

There are no dining plans available to DVC members.

DVC members do get discounts at selected WDW restaurants. You will receive a list of the current dining discounts when you check in. To see a list now, look on the Members' Website.

If you have an AP/PAP (many DVC members do especially now that DVC members get a substantial discount on the purchase of APs/PAPs), you can purchase a DDE (Disney Dining Experience) card for $50. This gives you a 20% discount on many WDW restaurants.

The MYW dining plan is not available to DVCers staying on points, just as it is not available to FL resident o AP holders booking discounted rooms.

There are a few dining discounts wit DVC...most lunches.

Otherwise, you can purchase the discounted AP and then get the Disney Dining Experience card for $50, it is good for 20% off at virtually all Disney owned full service and buffet restaurants, as well as counter service restaurant in those locations that don't have a full service restaurant (Animal Kingdom, Pop Century and All Stars). The card is also good for 20% off of alcoholic beverages, the only plan to include those.

A MYW package would include your lodging. If you choose to stay at a DVC resort on CRO cash reservation, you probably could get the package including the dining. Staying on points will not allow you to get a "package".

Sorry...what is AP/PAP? I usually get what all the wbbrev. are, but I'm stumped...

Also, is that a one time $50 or yearly?

AP = Annual Pass
PAp = Premium Annual Pass

Prior to this year, the DDE was only available to Florida residents, cost $75 and was valid for a year. They could renew it for (I think) $60.

AP/PAP passholders were allowed to purchase the DDE begining this year, and they were offered a $25 discount. I do not know what the renewal is for AP/PAP passholders.

HTH.
