Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Wow. What I'd like to know is if I can use my Passholder 30% discount and get a free appetizer too. All of these restaurants announced an increased passholder discount a couple of weeks ago, valid through September 30th. http://www.wdwmagic.com/other/annual-pass/news/21jul2017-annual-passholder-dining-discount-increased-at-several-restaurants-through-the-summer.htm TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I wondered that too. They recently added TIW to the Passholder discount also. I say give it a try. Geez, if you can use both, and given Disney portions (we've often split and app and entree between the 2 of us), you could get a really nice meal for 2 for around $50, including tax and tip! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The point of promotions like this is to get butts in the seats. If they have you there, they don't need to give you extra discounts. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No sorry, I worded that badly. I meant that Disney was offering a TIW discount as well as the Passholder discount. I'd be shocked if they actually let you stack them.

slices 16 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Are there any advantages to having both TIW and annual passes? When I last looked TIW got a bigger discount but that doesn't seem to be the case now. I just have TIW, looking at what we spend in food made it worth it.

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk The AP discount used to be much more limited-10%, and only at a few restaurants. They went crazy with it this year, but it probably will get reduced once they get things back on track. Also, TIW discount applies to alcohol, where AP discount does not.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Here's a screen cap showing the details of the "free" appetizer offer. No stacking. Certain unidentified appetizers are excluded (it only applies to "select" appetizers: That will be a no for me, dog. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCD Also you can use TIW at some QS locations (I don't have the list handy), and most lounges that are attached to a restaurant and serve food. 32 minutes ago, Tri-Circle-D said: Here's a screen cap showing the details of the "free" appetizer offer.

I'd bet these little morsels at Flying Fish are on the list of excluded apps...

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 *Somebody* must be buying it. Victoria and Albert's has an add-on option of the Galilee Osetra for $105 per half ounce or $210 for a full ounce. That's on top of the $185 per person you're paying for dinner. Caviar only lasts so long, even in an unopened can (so I've read - LOL). Makes you wonder how much of this stuff they keep around and who gets to eat it when it hits the "sell by" date?

They offer quickservice discount for TiW for places that don't have a table service, such as the Value Resorts (All-Stars, Pop Century, Art of Animation), Port Orleans French Quarter, and quick service at Animal Kingdom since it technically did not have a Disney-owned table service restaurant. When they opened Tusker House, the computers didn't change, don't know if they have changed the computers now that Tiffen's has opened. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We've used TiW at AK QS quite a bit in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
