Tables in Wonderland

This is good for AP holders, correct? Is it worth it?

Absolutely worth it, UL!!! Call ahead to order the card; it should be about $50-75 with your AP (another good reason to get the AP voucher before you go -- can't get a TiW card without it). If you don't get your AP until after you arrive at Disney World, go to guest services and see what you need to do to get the Tables in Wonderland card!

We save SO much money with ours.

Okay, so I order the APs ahead of time and then once I get the vouchers I can call for TIW?
This may work great since we aren't doing the dining plan.

That's correct, UL. We have the TiW card, too, and really enjoy it. It gives 20% off of food AND alcohol! Great deal.

UL We also have the TiW card and we love it. It pays for the price of the card in just a few meals, If I remember correctly you can now get it at guest services when you pick up your APs, you used to have to preorder the card but that is not the case any more. The card should be good for up to 10 people seated at your table, so if you bring friends out to dine, they are included in the discount as long as YOU pick up the tab. However!! beware I believe they now automatically ADD the gratuity to the bill and I have heard of some people NOT checking this and adding ANOTHER gratuity to the bill, and I am sure your server won't mention it but will say an even bigger Thank You!! biggrin

I'd like to add mine to the voices praising the TIW card. As others have said, it pays for itself after just a few meal, especially if those meals are at some of the more expensive restaurants on property (the savings at Jiko alone were awesome)!

If you drink, the good news is that alchohol is included too. Not bad when you consider that a $60 bottle of wine suddenly becomes $48.

It's true that an 18% gratuity is automatically added. So you won't need to add more unless you want to go over and above.

Remember, not all restaurants on property take it. For example, most counter service in the parks do not.

Here's a link to a list of places that do accept it:

Is this something that needs to renewed yearly along with the APs?

That's awesome if I don't have to pre-order - then I can just get everything in one shot
Thanks for the gratuity heads up!

UL -- Yep, you renew it yearly.
