It must have gone up a little. We paid $50 last year in October.

It did go up as of January.

The cost now is $60 for 1 card and an extra $25 for the 'family member' card (for AP holders).

I only used my card once last year when DH left his somewhere else, so I did without it this year.

HTH!!!

We are thinking about getting one this year, but one quick question. It last for a year, is that a calendar year, a year from when you order it, or a year from when you first use it.

It begins a year from the date they mail it out. I just ordered mine!

YES, it is for the calendar year.

As I understand it, a "calendar year" means only good January through December. The DDE is good for one year from time of purchase--which means no matter which month you buy it, it will not expire until one year from then--and it also tacks on an extra month depending on when you purchase it during that month. I ordered mine on March 13th 2006, and it doesn't expire until April 30th 2007. (they always expire at the end of a month)

We love it. We eat in the high end restaurants most of the time, (only CS rarely, like when we are in a park for lunch without an ADR) so this is an incredible deal for us. It paid for itself in one meal, lol. I am especially happy it includes alcohol, as we enjoy a fine bottle of wine with dinner.

You are correct, it is based on when you order it, NOT a calendar year.
