Disney's Dining Experience

[PieInYourEye]

I recently got my Disney's Dining Experience card in the mail. I would love to hear of any experiences, good or bad, that you've had using this card.

I will typically be a party of one, but I'm interested in getting the most for my money!

Absolutely love mine. I am on my third year and we always get our money back with the discount. It has been great to have and cant be beat. Although they are raising the price so next year will have to reassess whether I need to renew it.

I have to agree with Grumpy92...right down to the deciding on a renewal next year. I have loved having it & have gotten my money's worth...but with the price going up & less places taking it???? At one time the food courts took it...now only the resorts that don't have a sit down resturant accept it in the food court! I can say that just 2-3 character meals for a family of 5 get my money back on it...and then anything after that is a savings.

What is this? Is there a webpage that I can read about it? I have never heard of this card.
Thanks,

We are in love with our card. We will be renewing it even with the raise in prices. It is not too much for the renewal price, and we use it quite often. Fri we are going to dinner with a party of 6 at Ohana's and then we have breakfast, lunch and dinner planned the next day, and then Sun we have V&As for just DH and I. We will save so much money from that card, and we have already more than saved it this year, so this is all icing. We used Dh and my cards for a party of 12 at Ohana's a month or two ago. It is great, and we love using it.

Not to mention FREE VALET PARKING at the resorts you dine at.

Quick math.
Friday
high tea 2 = savings of 7.00$
6 at ohanas = savings of 28.80$
Saturday
4 Bfast @1900 PF = savings of 13.60$
4 lunch at CRT = savings of 13.00$ (if we each spend 15)
4 dinner at Cali grill = savings of 30$
Sunday
2 dinner at V&A's = 42.40 ( 2 meals 1 wine pairing )
5 free valets savings of 30$
thats is a 3 day total saivings of $164.80

That we would have spent anyway if we didnt have the card.

and that is this one trip ( granted we're celevrating a graduation, and a Birthday )
but we go to disney usually once a month just for dinner. so we save anywhere from 10-20 a month with the card.

all for a inital cost of 70$ and a renewal of 60$

well worth it!!

MAn, I should be making a commercial for these guys!!

Guess we won't get the card for several years then. Oh well!
