Tables in Wonderland at restaurants where gratuity is included

[Disney.Mike]

Hi all,

The question I have is pretty simple. I know at the regular restaurants, TIW gives a 2% discount (20% discount + 18% gratuity).

The question is, at places like the Hoop De Doo, what is the discount? At these places where gratuity is included in the meals, does TIW give you the full 20% discount.
I ask because this is the make or break question of my buying an AP+TIW for my next stay.

"Pre-Paid Reservations and Dinner Shows:

• For any participating Walt Disney World® Resort restaurant where reservations are pre-paid, make your reservations as you normally would, and pay the full amount. Once you arrive for your pre-paid reservations a valid Tables in Wonderland card must shown at time of arrival or ticket pick-up in order to receive the 20% discount. Tables in Wonderland discounts for show times are subject to change without notice. "

Also note that the Hoop Dee Doo discount is only available for the late show. Not sure if that impacts your plans.

I'm an AP with a TiW. The very existence of a TiW card is one of the two reasons I no longer do DDP.

If you've prepaid, when you present your TiW card, you will receive a refund of the difference between the prepaid reservation and the cost of the discounted meal.

Remember that most major holidays are blackout dates for TiW. And the card holder must be the one who pays the tab - they've gotten real strict about this. And they do check the name on the credit card presented for payment.
