When the 45th anniversary 20% discounts end...

Do those restaurants covert back to the normal 10% like the others or no discount at all? This is our first time with APs and our last trip using them will fall after the 9/30/17 date.

I don't think anyone knows at this point what will happen when the promotion ends. Prior to the start of the promotion, some dining locations offered a discount (not all restaurants and not all meal times).

Thanks! That's what I wondered. Since we have not had APs before, I didn't know if all of those at 20% used to give the 10% or if some were new, etc. I guess we will just wait and be surprised with those. From how I read it on the AP website, it does appear that those at 10% will not change since no date is mentioned (and yes, I realize it is all subject to change, but it doesn't look planned at this point).

As @figment_jii says above, since this is the first time they've offered this there is no way to know what they will do later. I'm not too optimistic that they will last though given Disney's normal practice of reducing benefits.

Its usually not a good idea to justify purchasing an AP on the basis of those extra perks that could disappear in the future. If the AP makes sense from the perspective of park admission, then go with it. Take the perks as just a little frosting on the cake.

I am hoping Disney keeps it or adds some new special discount for Epcot's 35th!

Hopefully they will see an uptick in spending and keep it but this is what is on the AP site for dining, might be across the board.
Makes sense as Oct 1 will be the next year and the 45th will be over.
We just have to wait and hear ......
