Should I purchase TIW?

Interesting. We've never used it. I guess we just instinctively self-park LOL.

We use it more at The Boardwalk than any other location. We can valet there and bounce back-and-fourth between EPCOT and the Studios, ending up at either park to watch Star Wars or Illuminations and not have to battle any traffic getting out.

Plus ... One of our favourite lounges on property, The Belle Vue Lounge, is in The Boardwalk which works out

Then a close second is The Grand Floridian with valet for us for V&A's, Citros & Mizners.

We are all about the lounges LOL. Never been to the Belle Vue, but we do go to the Boardwalk a lot.

And an upcoming trip is all about the GF. Will have to think about this a little more.

only if there's vodka in it!!

LOL. Seriously, as I posted earlier, I thought we'd skate by this year and just do the AP discounted restaurants. So I'm only looking at the difference between the 20% we'll already get on most meals vs. the additional 20% we'd get on liquor. (Plus maybe this valet perk.)

Just giving you a hard time! I am sure you have crunched numbers. I just tallied that we saved over $500 last year with TiW...of course that shows just how much we spent!

Love the Belle Vue! It's off to the side so it' not in the main areas like a lot of "lobby bars" may be.

Mizners of course is another favourite of ours. The big band, etc. It's all great there!

Personally speaking I decided not to purchase a brand new TIW card this coming December. My most recent one expired on September 30, 2016 and at $150 just for the card for me it's no longer worth it. Plus with WDW adding 20% for Annual Pass holders off at specific table service restaurants and quick service locations, that makes up for not having a TIW card.

Somewhere I read that the APH dining discounts had a bunch of restrictions on them? Like only weekdays and lunch only in some cases? I can't find this information replicated anywhere else. Does anyone know?

Also debating the TIW as our two trips will be Christmas this year and next and next year will be after the anniversary discounts expire.
