Originally Posted By Indigo I think one of the real benefits here is the free valet service that comes with the DDE. Feel like popping in for a visit to EPCOT for illuminations. Just drop off that car at Beach Club and walk on over. Stop by Beaches and Cream for some dessert afterwards and, voila, a perfect evening. I predict doing this exact same thing many times over the coming years.
Originally Posted By LadyandtheTramp Unless they've changed recently (since Christmas), Japan does not give the DDE discount, since they aren't owned by Disney. We ate there for our Candlelight dinner, since no discount attached to the package anyway and we figured we might as well eat at the only Epcot restaurant that doesn't give the discount. After our meal, I spoke with the manager and mentioned that the meal was great but that we wouldn't be back anytime soon because they didn't take the DDE. He acknowledged that I wasn’t the first person to mention that, and was glad that I did since he could report it back up the management chain.

Or free "Park Hopper" option added to a full-price one-day ticket. "This is our way of thanking our home-state neighbors for their years of loyalty," Weiss said. "Floridians told us what they wanted, so we're giving them more flexibility and options that fit the way they visit Walt Disney World." I think this is pretty good. How about you Floridians?

She doesn't believe that it's not the same every time or that it's more than just the rides & Mickey Mouse.. *grin*
