Wondering what everyone thinks of this? Is it a good deal? Does anyone know how much the average bottle of wine costs at Disney?
We are headed for our first trip (haven't been since I was a kid) and wondering about adding this on. Me and dh both love a glass (or two) of wine to relax or with dinner. I'm sure we would use all the entitlements, just wondering if it's a good deal or if we should just pay as we go.
Thanks for any help!

Yes we enjoyed it. It will save you 5-15 dollars off you wine. The one entitlements are usually between 39-55 a bottle.
 
We did not get it, but it looked to us as if it was very limiting. In the last 9 months we've dined at Narccosee's, CG (twice), Citricos, Jiko, HBD, and many non-signatures. It seemed that the choices for one credit were limiting - anything over $45 was 2 wine credits and there were many options around $48 - $65 that were 2 wine credits (and you would lose $$ on it). There were only a few choices that were over $40 that were 1 wine credit, so if you didn't want to lose $, you were limited in your choices to those.
 
I just read on another site (TA) that they have done away with the Wine & Dine for next year.

No thats not true. Most of the one credit wines we chose were between 50-55. There were 2 credit wines in the 80 -90 range. You just have to pick the more expensive wine. If your favorite wine is 70.00 and its 2 credits than your going to lose money. We saved quite a bit of money on dxdp and wine add on. You just have to know how to get the most out of it.

That's been our impression too. There are few 1 credit choices over $40 and even fewer (none that I recall seeing) 2 credit choices in the $80 range so it seems like this is an "all inclusive" upsell that costs most people more than just paying cash. We haven't tried it because after checking out the wine lists and making note of the plan options it just didn't seem likely to be cost effective, and besides, sometimes we're more interested in cocktails or beer than wine anyway.
