Teppan Edo has been added for 2008 - confirmed by the Restaurant

[julia & nicks mom]

I just got off the phone with Disney Dining and she said that Teppan Edo has been added for the dining plan - she even pulled up my reservation and noted we were on the Dining plan

See update on page 2 - I called Teppan Edo directly and asked

Any confirmation on this yet? I'll be calling tomorrow to make one last change so I'll ask again then, but given how unreliable Disney dining CM info can be, I'd like to see more than one person given the same answer before I get too happy! LOL

 

[quietgirll]

im a little excited...can you tell??

 

[julia & nicks mom]

there is an older thread on this asking if it is on the plan - two people posted that they called Disney dining today - one got a yes and one got a no - maybe word came down in the middle of the day?

I am hopeful she is right b/c she didn't just give me an answer she actually pulled it up on her computer - and said yes - let me check your dates too - then she said yes - it is one credit and I have marked you as DDP on your reservation

 

[Simbee3]

That is music to my ears. I was beginning to think that they weren't going to be added to the dining plan.

I almost cancelled this ressie b/c it wasn't on the DDP, but when i called to cancel the CM said, "Are you sure you want to do that???", she told me it was hard to get and not to cancel, so i didn't and now i am glad i listen to her

I would love to confirm this for everyone else who is patiently or not so patiently waiting to hear on this restaurant. Unfortunately, I too called yesterday to check on the status of Teppan and the dining plan and was told at 4:30pm that they still were not on the plan. Hopefully the poster called after me and it is really confirmed. I won't believe it until I have eaten there in Jan. and not paid out of pocket!

yay: Checked yesterday, cm definitely stated on 2008 dining plan. So who knows?

 

[Tiffanie]

Awesome news! I booked a PS for this back in November hoping that they would add it to the Dining Plan - hurray!

 

[Disneyof3]

SORRY to disappoint you all but I just called and they said that it hasn't been added yet. I want it to be on it as much as the next person but I think it is time to face the facts and it isn't going to be added to the DDP for 2008.

Just got off the phone with Disney dining, and they seem confused. Teppan Edo shows as a 1TS restaurant on one screen, but is still pending on another. THe CM I spoke with didn't know what to make of that, so she asked her supervisor and was told it has not yet been added.

Oh well, I suppose I will find out when we get there, because we're keeping that ADR even if we have to pay OOP. DS is too excited about it to cancel!

I just called DVC member services - I told her that I had called and was told that it was on the dining plan but someone I knew called after me and was told it was not on the dining plan and could she give me any confirmation.

She told me it is absolutely on the dining plan and had just been added -I asked if she was sure b/c I did not want to show up there and be told I had to pay out of pocket for it - she promised me it has been added and I had nothing to worry about.

I find member services tends to give me pretty accurate information - they don't want me coming back to them and complaining that they gave me misinformation!!

I laughed when I read this because I find Member Services has tons of problems with dining. I frequently have them switch me to dining department as they always, and I mean always, make some type of error with my dining ressies: overcharging, wrong ADRs, cancelled ADRs, misinformation, etc. I wouldn't take any confirmation from them on dining as the last 3 member service CMs I have spoken with over the past few months couldn't even figure out how to make regular ADRs.

I would wait and hear from Dining department and not take it from Member services as they really have issues in this regard in my personal experience.

Hopefully we'll all hear soon whether or not Teppan Edo and Tokyo Dining are on the Dining Plan for '08.

I guess we have had completely different experiences with Member Services - I have now heard it from Dining and Member Services - that is enough confirmation for me!

Just made our ADR's for June 1 thru 7 and guess what. The CM we talked to said Teppan Edo is not on the DDP yet. But we booked it figuring we will pay OOP if it doesn't go on the DDP and then do a breakfast or early lunch with the TS the last day. But anyway all is booked.

I decided who better to ask than the restaurant itself...

So I called directly to Teppan Edo and talked with them and they confirmed that they are going to accept the 2008 Dining Plan -

Disney Dining clearly does not have their act together on this one!!

 

[Tiger926]

Does this include Tokyo Dining too? Tiger

 

[familyS]

Hi julia & nicks mom, thanks for calling the restaurant directly. That is good news
I still hope to see an updated brochure soon

 

[KatiebugsMom]

Thank you for the clarification since I made end of January reservations for both places Teppan and Tokyo Dining back in July......Yes I love Japanese food that much! LOL

My plan is OOP for Tokyo Dining......since I only want sushi and a bunch of it for that meal. They really have some different and interesting rolls I want to try.

Thanks again for your time to obtain this information.
