dining w/DDE card

[disney queen]

we just got back last night after 4 days at wdw. used the DDE card and save enough to "pay" for it. we ate at: LTT, lunch, Kona Cafe, breakfast; Flying Fish; The Plaza, lunch; Hollywood Brown Derby, dinner; Cinderella's breakfast; Yachtsman Steakhouse; and Whiperining Canyon Cafe, breakfast. it was 2 adults, no alcohol drinks, and shared dessert every evening except Yachtsman's as this was for our anniversary. total savings for these meals was $87.02!! we really enjoyed flying fish and would like to give yachtsman another try. it was not anything they did, but what we ordered. the meal itself was excellent as was service, but i think if we had ordered individually instead of the chateaubriand for two we would have enjoyed it more. will be happy to tell more if you have any questions.

if we had ordered individually instead of the chateaubriand

My wife and I love chateaubriand and alway used to visit Yachtsman's Steakhouse each trip to have some. Then they took it off the menu, so we stopped eating there. I assume it's back!!!!"

I have a ? I just ordered my card and she was asking me when I was going to Disney as it would be valid then she needed my entire stay dates. Why? Isn't it valid for a year? Or is she just making sure it is valid starting when I get there?

i am just guessing here, but i would say it would be to make sure it was valid for your dates. i ordered our in february and got it late april/early may. the expiration date is 4/30/2006. hope this helps!

She may want to see if she needed to mail a temporary letter (which has an expiration date) or if there would be enough time for you to get the actual cards before you leave.
