Personal wine at TOTWL/DVC restaurants

[Kidanifan08]

We like to bring our own wines on vacation and find the wine lists at Disney to be lacking quality wine at a reasonable price. Has anyone taken their own bottle of wine to TOTWL? Do they offer corkage? For that matter, are there any DVC resort restaurants that offer corkage?

I don't know of any WDW restaurants or lounges that offer corkage fees. I'm sure going to miss the TiW card now that our AP's have expired. That's the only way I know to get a halfway decent price on wine at WDW. I've been known to scour the wine lists before our trips to find that rare good deal. Case in point - I found BV Tapestry (a very nice quality blended red) at Le Cellier for $59. With TiW, it brought the price down to roughly $47. It's normally $50 at my local liquor store. It's an expensive wine, but a very fair price at Le Cellier. Interestingly enough, the exact same wine at Cali Grill is $89. Go figure.

Also note, any WDW venue will recork your bottle of wine and package it for you to take with you. I'm a single parent, but don't always find wine that I like that is served by the glass. I appreciate that I can get a good bottle of wine and take the rest back to my villa to enjoy later.

Good to know! We have TIW, too, and that does help take the bite out of the cost of adult beverages.
