What is the DDE Plan?

[Ms. WDW]

As I read all about the possible changes to the DDP, I've run across a DDE plan being mentioned.

Can someone just tell me what that is?


Thanks!

The DDE is a discount program that affords members 20% off of their bills at many (but not all) WDW restuarants. The DDP is a pre-paid meal program that gives you "points" to spend for meals to completely cover the bill. You cannot combine the two.

We had annual passes in 2005 and so used the DDE to save some money since we were not elligable for the free DDP that was being offered to hotel guests at the time. It was a better deal for us to get the AP discount on our hotel and get DDE.

FYI, you must be an annual passholder or Florida Resident to get the DDE.

I am an annual passholder.

Not entirely true. I've used my DDE card for alcoholic beverages and other oop food items for DDP meals.

I also always use my DDE card for free valet parking when I eat at the resorts.
