Tables in Wonderland/Disney Dining Experience

[shelbysmom]

I have a quick question if anyone can help me....

We have had the DDE card for the last two years... We use it for the discounts on the character meals and the hotel food court meals that we eat... Did they remove the character meals and the resort hotels from the plan? I was looking at the list of restaurants on the disney site and I didn't see any of the places we will be eating (Tusker House, Hollywood and Vine, Chef Mickeys or the Value Resorts).

Now I am worried. Does anyone know if they still accept it at these places?

Thanks in advance.

Where did you find a list? Everything I could find still show those restaurants, but the most recent date indicated was November 2008. November is fairly recent, but it's conceivable the list has changed since.

It was a description of benefits under the passholders site of disney parks.com.

OK, in that case I wouldn't worry. Disney is notorious for not having accurate information on their sites. The "as of November 2008" listing I found showed Tusker, H&V and Chef Mickey's. I doubt they were all dropped.

I would call tomorrow to verify but according to http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/passholder-benefits, it states that they "include", which being very literal, means that there could be more. The passholder phone number is (407) 566-5858. I would just call to be absolutely sure. I can't imagine that they would not include the character dining experiences and other restaurants. And like MontyMon said, they are notorious for not having the accurate and up to date info.

Below is what is listed on wdwmagic website - last updated in Sept 2008.

From what I have heard, they have been late in getting the information out on the 2009 restarunats, but I would think those would be on the list.

Be aware though, unless things have changed, the only food courts where you get discounts are those where there is not a table service option at the resort.

Thanks everyone! I will call them today to make sure

We stay at the All Stars so that is the only hotel we will be trying to use the card.

I really appreciate the help.

I think what you were reading was the list of dining benefits as a annual passholder. 1 option was the Tables in Wonderland. The other restaurants listed were discounts you can get just by showing your Annual Pass.

I used my new card at Everthing Pop the first week of the year.
