I will be using the ddp on my trip in December . I find its a good deal for me
since i get a variety to eat instead of just burgers and chicken fingers and stuff.

I also have a tendency to drink more sodas than I normally would, because they are included on the DDP.

Are there free refills on sodas / soft drinks with the DDP ? (I usually drink 2 or 3 sodas at each meal, if the meal is long, and the refills are free.)

most of the buffets and sit down services we went when we were at DDP 2 yrs in a row.. refills where def'ly free!

duh! excuse my ignorance... what I meant was the DDE...disney dining experience.... with the AP you get $20 off and you get 20% discount on dining and all the restaurant on the ADR is on the list... but then how much is the DDE ?

The DDE cards went up for 2007. The one I bought for Jan '05 was $50.00, but the one I bought last Dec was $65.00. Also for '05 I could get two cards for the household, now that second card you must pay for (I'm not sure how much the second card is though, because I decided to buy just the one).

I believe most TS places give free refills on soda, but not specialty drinks (like shakes, smoothies, etc---with the exception of the bottomless shakes at Whispering Canyon).

ok if you get 2 cards... I am the only one in the household... but since mom and dad will be with us and there would be times we will not be together at the park... can they use the DDE(2nd card)

I believe they can, as long as one of their names is on that card. I have been asked for ID occasionally. Not often, but occasionally. They check names, not addresses. You'd have to have one of their names put on the card, but have it sent to your address. Again, I don't know how much the second card costs, but someone else might. Up until last year you could get a second DDE card for free.

edited:Oops, I just went and got the letter that I got with my card, it says: 'We issue 1 primary card and 1 spouse card at an additional charge. Both members must live at the same address and be 21 years of age or older. to purchase or renew you may download and application at www.disneyworld.com/passholder and fax to us at 407-560-3764.' The number for DDE is 407-566-5858.

For the Dec trip I'll have my DDE card with me if anyone is not on the DDP and wants to use it. We can also use it if anyone wants alcoholic drinks, which of course are not included on the DDP. It also gives half price admission to PI clubs for members and guests, if someone wants to use it the night we go to PI.

It's all so confusing-but I can see the advantage to doing it the other way depending an AP discounts. Each person has to weigh which is the best deal for them. I like to eat in a nice restaurant and order things I don't normally have because I don't eat out often at home and I don't want to live on burgers etc. when on vacation. I love having an appetizer and a dessert, although I don't have a huge appetite. I don't get my money's worth at the buffets, but they're fun to go to. I remember being able to get a frozen Capacinno at Le Cellier instead of soda and some places offered fruit smoothies as an option to soda, which I enjoy.
I opted for the MYW plus, so I can go to Pleasure Island and only pay for drinks. It's a savings this year to only have to pay for one(except that the hotel is the same either way).

Hey Kat,
How did you find out about Neil Patrick Harris so soon? I love him and "How I Met Your Mother" is one of my favorite shows-he's great. What a nice thing for him to do for my birthday....Last time I was there, it was Gary Sinese-also great. Did you get my e-mails? Colette

Colette,

I just read that on your birthday, you can pick up a birthday button at your resort (in case you would like to have it during the first part of the day, before arriving at Epcot). I've heard that all kinds of nice things happen when you wear a birthday button.

ANTSS,

I'm glad you like the dining schedule!

Daisy

 

[Colette]

Daisy,
Thanks-I had read that you could get a different button at each park, but we'll only be at Epcot, so I'd rather get one at the hotel in the morning and wear it all day-I've never been at DisneyWorld for my birthday before, so I'm really excited.... Colette

Colette,

I read that they used to have a different birthday button at each park, but now all the parks have the same birthday button.

I'm not sure if the info about being able to get a birthday button at the hotel is correct, but I hope so. If it turns out they don't have them at the hotel, you could still get one later at Epcot.

Hey Colette,

yes, I got your email with the cell numbers, I've been crazy busy this week with the kids graduation (teach nursery school) and progress reports sorry I did'nt get back to you. Was there another email? I found the info on these boards last night while I was snooping around.

I really do love Doogie, grew up watching that show and got the box dvd set for xmas!

I'll have to try to catch that show you like when is it on?

[Colette]

Kathy,
So school is out now- do you get to relax for the summer? I thought I sent another e-mail, but the one with the cell phone numbers was the important one. I looked upp on Deb Wills site and found the list for the candlelight processional. The show I was telling you about is on Monday nights at 9;30 and Neil Patrick Harris is our favorite character-I never knew he was so funny-I think you'll like it.

Hi Colette,
I don't really ever get to relax at my job, we are an all year program so I work all throughout the summer as well. I have kids leaving and starting the next few weeks and am almost at full capacity of 9 kids a day All under 3!!! And boys boys boys, out of a class of 16 kids I only have 3 girls! I will be so ready for my trip in December!!! I do get to relax my curricullum in the summer though, more play less structure.
I will definatley need to check out that show, I dont really watch much tv (except for the red sox games) but always on the hunt for a good laugh!

Hey Colette,

Thank you for the PM with the cell phone numbers.

In a message dated June 17, 2007, you asked how was the parasailing at Castaway Cay on December 5, 2006. I apologize for the delay. In three words, scary and exhilarating. Scary because I was 500 feet above the water in a harness. I did some heavy breathing up there, but not because of any romantic moments. Exhilarating because...I was 500 feet above the water in a harness. Marvelling at God's creation on a beautiful morning, I felt almost as if I could reach out and grasp His hand. It was eerily quiet and peaceful but perfectly safe. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
