Tables in Wonderland - email list?

[AladdinsPrincess]

Hi there,

My husband and I are TiW members and I keep reading online about these special dining events but I don't know how to find out about them. Is there a web site or a mailing list that I can sign up for as a member? I just called Disney Dining to ask and they said that TiW doesn't have any special events

Thanks very much for any help that you can give me!

Disney Dining and TIW are completely separate from each other. You might be able to make reservations for the special events through Disney Dining (assuming you get a phone agent who knows what to look for) but they won't know any specifics.


TIW has given an e-mail address for contact:

tables.in.wonderland@disney.com

Thanks very much! I did just track down a different phone number for Tables in Wonderland and they do in fact have an email list that I was able to sign up for.

While I understand that Disney Dining is separate, it's all still Disney (and it's all still dining for that matter!) so the right hand should really know what the left is doing. Just my two cents!

Thanks again for your help

The problem is that Disney Dining is part of the reservationss system. They have call centers in Orlando, Tampa, Houston, Salt Lake City, somewhere in North Carolina, and maybe even other locations that I'm not currently aware of. All they do is reservations and sales. Some of the people working at them have never even been to WDW. And the online internal information system is very large and clunky.

Maybe it should but you've just found that in practice it does not work that way, and dining is not the only facet of Disney's business that operates like this.

The email address above is not functional. Neither is wdw.tables.in.wonderland@disney.com

I have received MAIL SYSTEM ERROR messages after sending messages to those email addresses.

***Does anyone know of a valid email or phone number?***


Thanks!

Before retirement, both Judy and I were Federal employees. We would often tell people: "Before dealing extensively with Disney, we thought we worked for the largest bureaucracy in the world."

The Wave... of American Flavors Discovery Dinner

Matt McLean ventured into the organic juice business in 1999 with a passion for healthy living, as well as, a long family history of growing citrus in Florida. Matt’s goal was, and still is, to produce the highest quality juice, using only premium 100% organically-grown fruit that is free from synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.



Matt’s family expertise dates back four generations to his great-grandfather, Angus Benjamin McLean, who learned firsthand how to grow quality citrus without the help of today’s synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. His son, William Benjamin McLean (“Pappy”), carried on his father’s tradition, honing his growing philosophy, which advocates stewardship of the soil as the means to producing the healthiest, most nutritious crops possible.



Today, Matt carries on his family’s traditions of growing quality citrus. He recently acquired several citrus groves, which are already yielding some of the fresh fruit squeezed into his delicious orange juices.

OK, that's officially the funniest thing I've read on the Dis in weeks!
