Tables in Wonderland Returning?

[Maistre Gracey]

AP and DVC owners we’re allowed to purchase it.

And FL residents… although it was $25 more for residents (unless you also had an AP or DVC).

We have had TiW for many years and loved it. The only time we didn't was the year they gave a 20% discount with the AP.
Hoping it comes back. Missed using it on our last trip.

interesting!

I called DVC today and they said to watch for all the restaurants to open first and then it may be offered again.

TIW is great ! Ours expired in May of 2020 but was extended 6 months and so we used it in September, October, November, and December.
The savings @ Be Our Guest was the most because we ordered adult beverages and there were 4 of us.

Wow, good for you. Ours expired 5/31/2020 and we were told numerous times it was a 4 mo extension. Interesting yours was still honored in December - that would actually be 7 months no? Again good for you. I guess we should have kept slapping ours down!

I'm confused - DVC owners were NOT allowed to purchase it ? Seems a large # of people here have had TIW how was that possible ?

I guess you should have tried to slap it down. We always asked first because it was an extension. I think they were honoring it because they were not selling new ones and the servers know they will get at least the minimum 18% gratuity-with the dining locations not at max capacity then a guaranteed gratuity is better than a lesser one.

We had only bought the TIW a few (4/5) but we did buy it every year since becoming AP holders and if it comes back, we will buy it again.

Sorry you had bad luck.

TIW was avaliable to DVC blue card and AP holders for $150 and Florida residents for $175 if I remember correctly.

I don't know what you are confused about but we are DVC and were able to purchase it. We are AP holders also.

 

[Taraleigsmom]

I was told in a prior post that DVC and AP were Not allowed to purchase.

Hmm untrue.

You have to have direct point to purchase, Blue Card. Some have reported being able to purchase as resale owners but it is a direct benefit.

 

[Taraleigsmom]

I do have direct point purchase, that's the reason I was confused - thanks. I'll keep an eye out for it to come back !

 

[Louis morrell]

I loved having it. It paid for itself many times over.

For the last few years, we've been using TIW as DVC members. For us, it's a better deal than the dining plan ever was. Especially since it covers alcohol and appetizers.

And valet parking for dinner.
I understand that is not a huge deal for many on site guests who don’t have cars, but for local folks it’s huge.

And for those of us who have cars, especially when dressing up a little for dinner. Much nicer not to have to take Disney transportation from one resort to a park to another resort and not to have to walk through the parking lot from/to the car. Especially when hot and muggy or rainy.

So DVC resale owners can not buy TIW ?

Nobody can. The program is suspended.

They still honor it, but looking at the timeline I’m not sure there are any valid cards left.

The last valid TIW card expires on 7/31/21. We lost our card in March this year (was set to expire in April 2021) and they replaced it for us- with the latest possible expiration date (for those who purchased in March 2020 just before the shut down). We have 3.5 weeks left and I’m already planing a weekend trip to make use of it one more time. Really hoping they bring it back!!!
