I am thinking this may be good for us to try. We do the deluxe dining plan, but always have extras that this would be nice to get the 20% on.

But wanted to know if this will work, which is a big reason I want to get this.

Each trip my sister-in-law and her boyfriend, who are locals, meet us at the parks and table service meals with us, and obviously they never have a dining plan. I usually end up treating and paying for their meals.

Can I use the Tables in Wonderland card when paying for THEIR meals, too? Just when do the check, say yes, the extra appetizers my family ordered, the alcoholic drinks my family ordered which are out of pocket for me anyway, put those on a bill for me and ALSO put my sister-in-law's meals on there - I pay for it all, but get the 20% off?
Just want to make sure it will work to get 20% off THEIR meals, which is the main reason I want to do this.
thanks!!
 
Yes, anything you are paying for, you can get 20% off.

Thank you.. that's what I was hoping. BUT... it would be different if at the end of the meal they handed me a check for my extras not covered on the dining plan... and then handed my sister-in-law a check for her meals - if she was paying for her meals, then it wouldn't work, right? It's as long as it's ME that is paying for it that it will work. Do I have that right?

Oh, one more question. Since we always seem to end up traveling during holiday times when there is dining surcharges... is another reason I thought this savings would help out. But as far as blackout dates... what I read looked like would not be good for Thanksgiving DAY, christmas DAY, 4th of July itself - but the rest of those holiday periods, like Easter week, with exception of Easter DAY itself - it WILL be good to use, right?
thanks again!!!
 
yes, *you*, as the cardholder, have to be the one paying for it. I would just mention to the server (before getting to the stage where they are delivering the check) that you have the dining plan but will be using the TiW card for everything else. Sometimes things can get a little tangled when you pay with a combination of methods, but they get it worked out in the end.

the blackout dates only apply to the date itself, not the day before or after unless specified.

and there is a limit to the number of people in the party when you use the card....can be used for up to 10 people.
 
We are going to be in the same situation on an upcoming trip. Makes the card even more worthwhile.
 
We hope to get a TIW when we get our annual passes in June. Where do you buy one? And is it good for one year?
Sorry to hijack!
 
I think it might take awhile for you to get your money's worth with the TIW card if you are mostly only using it towards extras that aren't on the dining plan. I use it, but I have it instead of any dining plan. When it all works out, it basically just gives you free tip - (takes 20% off, but adds in 18% tip automatically - so essentially you get only 2% off the total on the check, but don't have to worry about tip).

At the same ticket window you are purchasing your APs, you can purchase a Tables in Wonderland card. The person whose name will be on the card has to be present. You can't give the card to a family member, for instance, if you're not dining with them.

When I bought the card (when it was called DDE), it gave me an extra month beyond the AP date. I haven't bought it yet under the name change, so I don't know when these expire. If you buy the card in May, TiW will be good at LEAST through May of next year.
 
I have used it when I was with my sister and her family. They used their credit card to pay their portion of the bill. I think it's good for your whole party as long as you are also dining with them.
