DVC dining restaurant locations increased again

[Wakey]

The new 2018 list is printed. 10%, but 10% now nearly everywhere TIW works and more. They added a lot in MK now. That $750 break even point for TIW is nowadays likely much higher.

I wonder if they are going to get rid of TIW?

Very much doubt it- it will be a very nice earner for them, and also Florida residents can get it (I think). It is still also worth it to many DVCers and AP holders- it is purely mathematical, if it saves you money, buy it. It is just that when people quote $750 as break even, it is actually likely much more than that nowadays.

So it states discount is for member and up to 3 guests. When you have a party of 7 - how will they determine which 3 people will receive the discount? So if one person in the party orders a $20 salad and a water and another person a filet and soda for over $50 - will they automatically discount the most expensive meals or do we need to specify?

That I have no idea on- I suspect you specify which guests it applies to and they split the check? That is another reason TIW can work.

We have never had a problem with more than 3 guests, but we have 2 members in our party, so we can have 8 total, plus the AP discounts...

My husband and I are both listed on the membership -- so that would mean we could each cover us plus 3 guests?

I want to get the rules straight in case i encounter a CM who might not know.

You could always ask for 2 checks if they give you a hard time.

That is what I would do.

Ask for two checks. I could pay for myself plus 3, as could my husband. We are both members.

Are we talking about the TIW card? I thought that was up to 7 people plus member but no alcohol.

No, we're talking about the DVC dining discounts if you show your membership card.

 

[BillPA]

TIW is +9, total of 10 per card. And it includes 20% off adult drinks.

I am wondering if the TIW would be a good idea. We will be a party of 7 -6 Disney adults and one child, none of us really drink alcohol, but i am sure with our 7 table service reservations we will be spending roughly on the cheap $2000 (variety of meals) -- yikes!!

All of the restaurants are listed on the DVC discounts so we would get the 10% off. TiW is 20% so would save us $400 vs $200 DVC, so with buying the Tiw card @ $150 it would save over all $50. Am i looking at this correctly?

We do have a trip in late Nov-Dec (4 nights) for just DH, myself and DD and we will be booking at least 4 TS meals during that trip. So i guess there will be some additional savings there.

Is there any value in me getting it? am i looking at this clearly considering the discount we already receive with either the DVC or AP?

The TIW card is good for 12+ months, looks like you cover the cost on the 1st trip so total 'bonus' for the second trip. Just note there are black out dates for the TIW discount.

So no discount on quick service then?

TIW also includes a few QS locations (mostly at DAK and SSR and value resorts ... places that have or had too few TS locations)

I have never had a problem with up to 7 guests on the DVC and AP discounts.

 

[minnie king]

Does the dvc discount apply to the restaurants that offer dinner packages with fireworks shows? It does say all meals.
