PAP and DDE!! I am in!

[mrsminniemouse]

I ordered our PAPS last Monday from the DVC website. I paid an extra $10 for international shipping and was delighted when the vouchers arrived via DHL today- exactly 7 days later!

I couldn't open the package quickly enough! Then I had to pace around for 30 mins until the DDE office opened its lines (2pm our time.) My call was answered immediately and I should have my card in 4-6 weeks. Yippee!!!

Looking at the list of restaurants which honour the DDE card it seems like very few are excluded. Has anyone noticed which sit down restaurants are not included? I think it will be easier to remember which are NOT included than which are! I know lots of DTD restaurants are not listed, I was thinking more of resort and park restaurants.

Thanks
Mandy

When are you going Mandy ?


I am trying to hold off buying ours until nearer the time, but I want to make sure we have time to receive our DDE too.

We have a trip booked for September but we are considering going in May and December instead so I ordered now, hopefully the DDE card will arrive by May. We are considering adding on with the new SSR incentive. If we do we will rearrange our plans to go twice this year. If not we will stick with the planned September trip.

If we don't go in May we will have it ready for September. Our September trip is for 20 nights so we will definitely get our moneys worth even if that is the only trip we get from the DDE card. I figured it was less stress to just order it now and have it in hand for any trips we take this year. I know many people said the email worked fine but I think I would forget to get it out of my bag. If I store the DDE card with my room key/ charge card I will not forget to use it when I go to pay.

Also for us now was a great time to pay for our PAPS. We are English and the dollar is good for us right now so I bought now knowing I can activate the card whenever we get to WDW.

When are you going? I bet the 4-6 week wait is decreasing now the initial sales rush is over.

Regards,
Mandy

Sorry, just noticed your countdown. I gues you have a while to get your APs and DDE card. I suppose you need to consider your plans for next year and whether you can get 2 trips from the DDE.

You can wait until you get to the hotel if you want to buy your DDE card. They will fax a conformation letter to the front desk for you and that is all you need (with your ID of course). That said, the card is much easier for me to keep up with.

The longer you wait to order, the longer your card has until it expires. Order after the 15th of one month and it doesnt expire until the following year at the end of the NEXT month after you ordered (March 15, 2005 order - card expires April 30, 2006). That is to give the card time to arrive.

Congrats on getting your vouchers!

I know for a fact that the Japan restaurant at Epcot DID NOT accept it the last 2 times we ate there. Also the Brewery/Grill place on the Boardwalk does not participate.
