The Best Thing I Love About Disney is… My Tables in Wonderland Membership
Annual Passholders and Florida residents are eligible to purchase a Tables in Wonderland (TiW) Membership (formerly Disney Dining Experience) at Walt Disney World. The annual membership fee seems steep at first glance. A Tables in Wonderland Membership will set Florida residents back $100 and Annual Passholders $75.

What do you get for your money? TiW members receive a 20% discount on food and beverage at participating restaurants and there are a lot of them. Most restaurants that participate are table-service restaurants but there are some quick-service locations that honor the TiW. You should keep in mind that an 18% gratuity is automatically added to your check when you use TiW and the discount is only valid for parties of ten or less. TiW is not accepted on some holidays.

Why do I love TiW so much? In a word, flexibility. Oh, and how can I forget savings? Unfortunately, the Disney dining plans just don’t work for my family but I’m never one to pay full price when a discount is available. What’s a girl to do? Purchase a TiW membership, of course. The standard Disney dining plan does not include appetizers or alcoholic beverages but TiW does. My husband appreciates both when on vacation so using TiW gives us savings, flexibility, and marital harmony. Everyone can order what they want from the menu without restrictions.

So what about that steep price? We often travel with my mom and my college-age stepson so for my family, TiW pays for itself in two or three days. Considering that as Annual Passholders we routinely spend 10+ days at WDW in any given year, the savings really do add up.


If you’re a Florida resident or an Annual Passholder, compare the TiW discount against the Disney dining plan. You may be surprised at which fits your family best.
