Thanks Rob. I'll make a reservation for an upcoming trip. We will not have any DDE or DDP for either of our 2 upcoming trips so I'm trying to tie in the DVC and AP discounts with where we want to eat anyway. It's hard to pass up a 30% discount even if it isn't my first choice in dining. I changed my choices around a little when I realized that the AP discount for most places is M-F. Moved San Angel to weekend to use DVC discount at lunch and Whispering Canyon and Le Cellier to weekdays to use the AP discount.Yep- we've gotten the 30% discount there on our last 2 trips. The 30% discount is only for lunch and alcoholic beverages are not included - but there is no better discount as DDP and DDE are nto accepted and even the Levy Restaurant discount is less than the DVC.
We have enjoyed Fulton's for years even without the discount. This is a real bonus! It's not a misprint.
I believe I saw it listed somewhere where the perk is good till 3 pm. I don't think any of the perks or discounts are a deal breaker but it never hurts to save a few $$ if it fits easily into your plans anyway.Make sure you are there while they are still serving lunch (I think it's 3pm - might be 4pm - but not positive, so it would be best to confirm the time). Once they start serving dinner the discount drops back to 10%.
Yes, it sure helps to plan out the dining discounts ahead of time - just like many other aspects of Disney (and timeshares).
LIFERBABE, I don't know why. The AP discount is 20%/10%. I don't recall ever seeing a 30% dining discount for AP, DVC, DDE or anything else. My recollection is that Fulton's has been fairly stingy with discounts over the years. Hopefully it'll stay in place until our late May trip.

It's on the member website under Member Perks. The M-F I was referring to was actually the AP discounts. I don't recall any limitations on days of the week for DVC though there are some that are restricted by time like Yachtsman, Citrico's and Hoop.Is there a link or is all of this on the DVC member site. I would like to know which restaurants we could eat at to get these discounts. SO are most for M-F and only lunch? Thanks.

The AP will get you 10% at the Kona Cafe but M-F. DVC will get the same discount but 7 days it appears. The AP will also get you a discount and access to the Disney Dining Experience will gives you 20% to most restaurants 7 days a week. That is the best way to go for many even at the $60 or so yearly cost for the card. The DDE also provides some valet parking options and a discount on ETOH which none of others do. Allearsnet.com has a pdf which compares the 3 but unfortunately it is not completely up to date. I think mousesavers may have discount info also.I am planning a trip to POLY. Does the DVC MEMBER CARD get me dining discounts? Or, does it get me discounts with AP? If need AP, do I have to pay any other fees to get food discount?

Can I get the DDE w/o an AP?
