Florida Residents DDE Change???

[sap1227]

I went to Beaches and Cream last night for dinner with a party of 10. When I gave the server my DDE card I told her I knew it was only good for 6 people and she said it has been changed to 10 people. Is this old news that I have missed? It was great for us and will certainly increase the value of the card to us!

I heard that elsewhere too but Disney's site has not been updated to reflect the change.

I have heard this, too! I am so happy! We don't usually go with large groups to WDW, but still...nice to have the option!

How again do we get those cards? Aren't they around $75? I wish we had known about it during our trip in October. We spend a bunch on dining! We will be there in 2 1/2 weeks and I wonder if we could get it in time. Yes, we are actually FL residents, FL APs.

When we renewed our card, the statement on the paper said the card was good for 10 people now.

All you have to do is call 407-566-5858 Option 3 to request a card. I think they asked me for a drivers liscense number for verification. The prices are: $75 in general, $70 if you have an annual pass, and $60 for a renewal. They recommend getting it 30 days before but it only took about 14 days to get our card in the mail.

Just did it. Thanks! The gal on the phone said it does take about 2 weeks but she is sending an email that we can use in the meantime if our cards don't get here before we go.

Yay! You will love it! We love whipping that baby out at every check. They have never asked us for FL ID yet. We always tip 20% of the original bill, also.

My DH is getting an IOU for one for Christmas. You can't beat the savings, and it is even good on alcohol!!!
