Disney Dining Experience

[ccigliano]

I will be heading down to Disney next Monday and with all the changes in the Disney Dining Plan have opted not to purchase it this trip. However, since we are doing the Magical Express, we have ADRs for all our dinners at either the parks or resorts so I would like to purchase the Disney Dining Experience Card. As a DVC member, I have purchased an annual pass and I believe I can get the DDE card at a discounted rate of $60(?) somewhere on site at DisneyWorld. Does anyone know where I would go to pick it up and if I have to purchase it in advance and then pick it up at the park or DTD? Thanks for the info.

You can now get your DDE card at Guest Relations ( in any of the 4 theme parks) or at Downtown Disney. They will issue membership cards there.

Thanks - that's what I'll do.

Also you can get it at the International Gateway of Epcot (back gate near BW, BC, YC). It's was very quick and easy to get it back there since there was no lines.

So these CANNOT be bought at your hotel?

No you can not buy the DDE card at the hotels. You have to go to guest relations at any of the 4 parks or you can call to order it.

We bought ours at DTD 2 weeks ago, took 5 minutes and paid for itself in just 3 diners (just DH and I).

Okay - thanks. I asked because we will be in Orlando for 8 days before we get to a Disney park but do have a few dinner reservations at resort hotels....
Can you tell me where Guest Services is in DTD? Is it in the Marketplace or the West Side or both....parking there is such a pain.

There are Guest Service locations at both Marketplace (near Once Upon a Toy, I believe) and on the West Side (not sure where it's located, but I'm sure it's easy to find).
