2 of the places I will be eating at next week will be 20% off now. I will take it.

aladdin2007Jan 04, 2019

I agree, but maybe they will decide to extend it, its happened before

aladdin2007Jan 04, 2019

If your staying there, if you just come for dining with a reservation and then leave shortly after you dont pay. Maybe thats what you meant however.

You're not missing much from that list, although there are a couple of gems in there like Jiko and Skipper Canteen.

Meh. Combined with them releasing Free Dining and other room discounts the other day, I'd say the probability is high that they will trot out some "extra AP discounts!!!" this fall. Because they love passholders SO much... :rolleyes:

Free cupcakes. That's where it's at.

disney4life2008Jan 04, 2019

Terrible restaurants. I would rather the 20% discount at select quick service. Now that was a deal.

disney4life2008Jan 04, 2019

Oh no we pay. No one pays to visit and park.

Texas84Jan 04, 2019

DVC doesn't pay if staying there.

jwutony16Jan 04, 2019

Ohhh you better believe we have to pay

SquishyJan 04, 2019

Better than nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Kman101Jan 04, 2019

Yep. At least Figment will be on the magnet it seems like. Yay? LOL There are SO many things they could do if they truly wanted to. But hey, come buy our merch! And wouldn't it be easier just to keep the 20% discount all year instead of just the slower times when they want passholders in the restaurants? It's all so minimal and just screams "come spend your money!!!!"

I think if you're an AP holder you don't have to pay the resort parking fee.
