What kind of discount do you get at Restaurants with an Annual Pass?

[wendy1974]

I was looking on my WDW Dining app and noticed some counter and table service show that they offer an Annual Pass discount (with some restrictions on days you can use it). I was wondering if anyone has used to to get a discount on a meal or knows what % you get off the bill.
TIA

Some restaurants in Epcot will give a 10% discount at lunch on weekdays only (doesn't include alcohol). You can also get some discounts at DTD. A few CS restaurants do 10% but not many of them are inside the parks - the only one that comes to mind is the Studio Catering Co. at DHS.

As an AP holder you can also buy a year's membership for Tables in Wonderland ($75 for AP holders) which is good for 20% off your full bill including alcoholic beverages at most lounges and TS restaurants at WDW, and a few CS. (At TS and lounges an 18% auto tip is added.)

Allears has a very handy pdf which lists the discounts for DVC, AP & TIW. allears.net/pl/disc_dining.pdf

Or go to allears and select dining, then scroll down the left hand side to the dining discounts pdf.

Thanks for the info...we are loking at buying the TIW discount card...but I am not sure I like the automatic 18% added in (no matter how the service is)...that could be a deal breaker...I think we will just stay with the dining plan! LOL

Yeah, it seems like it would kind of defeat the purpose of getting 20% off if they're going to add 18% back in. I mean, I tip pretty well depending on the service but I'm not tipping over 15% , generally.

I assume you realize that even if 18% is more than the usually tip, you still save money with the TIW discount

Example:

With TIW:
$100 meal (before tip)
With 20% discount, cost is $80
18% tip added on: $18
Total cost: $98

Without TIW:
$100 meal (before tip)
15% tip: $15
Total cost: $115.

You may think the tip is rich (although 18% is about average where I live), but even so, TIW still saves money.

Studio Catering is no longer listed in the restaurant discounts for passholders and does not give an annual passholder discount. The only counter service restaurant in a park is:
