A discount on dining across many more restaurants, which included alcohol, and what was, IIRC, a slightly higher discount.What would TiW give me that I don't currently get from being an AP?
It was 20% but it included an automatic 18% gratuity. It also included free valet parking with receipt when dining at a resort table service restaurant. I really miss it.A discount on dining across many more restaurants, which included alcohol, and what was, IIRC, a slightly higher discount.
Reading between the tea leaves any shot this might actually happen now?
That was the selling point for us!Also it was 20% on everything including adult beverages.

Oh absolutely. To say to take with a grain of salt with that posting from them is an understatement. Was just more interesting as it’s a recent posting on the matter. Here’s “wishing”You have to keep in mind that the moms panel is less informed than this forum in many cases and certainly isn't given inside info
…you got it.So even the Disney Parks panel is resorting to just wishing for things to happen? lol
The problem I had with TIW was the guaranteed Gratuity. Once a server knows they are guaranteed, service drops. I had a dinner at a Disney restaurant where once the server was informed that they were going to get 18%, they served our drinks and literally we did not see them again until we were given the bill. Two day later, at a different restaurant, same thing happened. Human nature is what it is. So I want to be in control of what a server EARNS, not is entitled to.It was 20% but it included an automatic 18% gratuity.

You get bad waiters all over the place…gratuity doesn’t affect that much.The problem I had with TIW was the guaranteed Gratuity. Once a server knows they are guaranteed, service drops.

You should have asked to speak to a manager. I had that issue when I was a CM and dining with my family at Cape May. Server found out I was a CM and she was getting an automatic 18%. All I got was an earful on how much more money bus drivers got, she ignored us all night, drinks only got refilled when I stopped another server and asked if she could help and used plates were stacked up on the table the entire meal. It was not a good experience. We got up to leave and I got a manager, explained what happened and he could see the stack of dirty plates still on the table. I asked for him to remove the gratuity as we got no service for it and he agreed AND comped one meal for our troubles.The problem I had with TIW was the guaranteed Gratuity.

You are not wrong. I was very disappointed in Cape May and that was probably 12 years or so.…I’m really sorry to hear…
…that you suffered cape may
