Disney Dining Card??

[Macagno]

I am not sure if I have the correct name. I though that I read somewhere that there is a dining card that offers 20% on most sit down dining. Is this correct? We are DVC members and annual pass holders. IF there is such a card, can anyone tell me if it is worth it. Thanks

If you do lots of table service within a year, it is worth it. We used ours first in June and made back the $50 cost after about three meals (three of us). Then we used it again in Aug and will use it again in Jan.

You either have to be a PAP/AP holder ($50) or FL resident ($75) to get the Disney Dining Experience card.

There are a few table service restaurants that will not accept the card, like Teppanyaki.

As a DVM member I know that you get a discount on some meals. Does the Disney Dining Experience Card offer the same can you use both?? Where can I find infor on the DDE card?

The Disney Dining Experience (DDE) card is so worth purchasing! We used it in June for our 6 day trip and it paid for itself within the first 3 meals. The thing that makes it so great is that the 20% is off of the entire bill, including alcoholic drinks. DH and I aren't heavy drinkers my any means, but on vacation we do indulge in one with our meals. At House of Blues, I had a raspberry martini (which was quite tasty) that cost $7, well at 20%, that meant I saved $1.40. We figure the 20% we save is paying the tip. Overall on the June trip we saved close to $80 and we're going back at Christmas...so who knows how much will save. Granted, we can't use the DDE card on holidays, but I've planned our CP dinner package for Christmas Eve and that saves money, too.


You can not get both the DDE and the DVC discount...only one and the DVC usually only saves 10% and not sure if it includes alcoholic drinks.

If you got to the DVC members website, you can find info listed there.

There is a good description of DDE here: http://allearsnet.com/din/dde.htm including the list of restaurants that accept it. When you ask "can you use both?" I believe the answer is no -- you cannot get both the 20% DDE discount and the 10% DVC discount on the same meal.

If you eat a lot of table service meals the DDE card is definitely worth it. It's valid for up to 10 people on the same check. In my case it's just DH and I and we still saved a significant amount of money with DDE on our last two trips.

I've found this .pdf document on All Ears Net very helpful. It shows what you get as a DVC member, with your AP, and with DDE.
