I received this official message from the Disney Dining Experience:


Greetings,
On the occasion of the 13th annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, we are pleased to announce that we will be launching a new name for the Disney Dining Experience.

Our Festival, which will take place from September 26 – November 9, 2008 will celebrate Cities in Wonderland, and following that theme, your dining club will be named Tables in Wonderland as of September 15, 2008.

This new name will not alter any of your current benefits. We have simply decided to do this to help distinguish your membership from any other dining privileges at Walt Disney World Resort that bares a similar name to the Disney Dining Experience.

You may continue to use your current card until expiration and your renewal card will reflect the new name, Tables in Wonderland.

In addition, we look forward to seeing you during the Festival. The team has planned an exciting line-up of events for the entire 45 days. We are particularly excited about hosting the Bocuse d’Or Culinary Competition on September 26th and September 27th from 11:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. on each day.

Chefs Paul Bocuse, Daniel Boulud and Thomas Keller invite you to watch some of the countries top professional chefs compete live to earn the privilege to represent the United States at the renowned Bocuse d’Or International Cuisine Competition in Lyon, France 2009.

Plan to attend this unique event with Al Roker and Dana Cowin, Editor in Chief, Food & Wine Magazine as host emcees. Several celebrity chefs will be judging the Event and will be available for book signings throughout both days. Viewing the Competition is included in park admission.

Also, the Gala Dinner on Saturday, September 27th will be a rare treat and a lot of fun. More information on this event, including the menu will be sent on a separate e-mail . . . an event not to be missed!

We wish you a delicious journey as you explore Cities in Wonderland during the Festival, and as a member of Tables in Wonderland all year around.

Good idea. Not thrilled with the new name :lookaroun but it's always annoyed me the way the names have been confused.

Tables In Wonderland

We got the same email. Even the waitstaff seems to be confused as to the DDE or the Dining Plan. The name seems a bit odd to say the least.

What a weird name. As long as they don't keep cutting back on the benefits of the card, I don't care what they call it. But it is still a VERY odd choice.

I am with everyone here on this one, the name should be changes to something else to separate it more from the Dining plans, but Tables In Wonderland??? Is that the best they can come up with? Belle

Agreed. I like the name change in concept, but this is a strange one.

So this is a permanent new name, not just over the F&W festival?

That's just embarrassing :rolleyes:

I think I might have to flash the card (yeah, I've got one of.... these) rather then say it.... out loud :eek:

I seriously hope we are getting PUNK'D! The name is laughable.

I'm sure we have better suggestions.

World Dining Card?
Walt Dining World?
Disney's Culinary Club?

I'm sure they won't re-change it, but oy vey.

That's exactly what I was thinking. There's no way I'm saying this out loud. I'm just going to call it the dining discount card.

I wonder how many people will actually be willing to use the new term. :lol:
