DDE Card Question

**ddoll** · 04-18-2005

I know it takes about 4 weeks to arrive, but what do you think is the latest I can order my DDE card? We're going the first week in August when my AP expires. I have no plans to renew the AP, so I was hoping to get the most mileage from my DDE.

I would order it about a month ahead of time just so you dont get left without it I live in South florida and it doesnt take verylong to get but thats because I am here in state

ddoll, Deb's site also says this:

"NOTE: Allow 4-6 weeks for processing. If you will be visiting Walt Disney World before you receive your membership card, DDE will fax or mail a letter of authorization to your home. If regular mail or fax isn't practical (e.g. your trip to WDW is within a few days), or if you're already at Walt Disney World, you can arrange to pick up a letter of authorization from a Guest Relations office. You will need to show a photo I.D."

So, either way, you should be ok. But go ahead and arder it ASAP.

Disney Dining Experience Card ( it used to be open to only Florida residents but they recently opened it to AP holders )

Thanks!!! I am not a passholder and I don't live in sunny Florida, so I guss I can't use this. No wonder I never heard of it. LOL!

Hi, there's been an update to the DDE ordering process. They will no longer send you an email (due to abuse of the system, most likely!) but will send you a temporary card if you are outside of one week of travel. If you have a week or less to go, they will print a temporary card which you can pick up at the Guest Services office right outside of the front gates at Epcot (where alot of the specialty dining programs are housed)

YES!! That's what I was hoping for! I don't want to order it too early and waste my year's usage on empty days.

And for those of you didn't know about it, AP holders get a discount on the regular price of the DDE. We pay $50 instead of the usual $75. This card allows 20% off dining, which pays for itself pretty quickly.

MickeyMac · 04-18-2005

We covered our costs on Day 3 of our using it! LOL!

Bring it out at every restaurant, too - we found they accepted it at a few counter service locations not on the list.

MerlinMatt · 04-28-2005

FYI, I got the confirmation letter about 4 days after I faxed the request. So last minute orders are fasible.

MickeyMac · 04-28-2005

They are no longer emailing a confirmation letter out, but will mail a temporary card if you so wish to. Too many folks abused the privelege, unfortunately.

I'm glad you got it - it's worth it's weight, definately!!

gingles · 04-28-2005

Can you get a DDE if you have purchased AP's but have not activated them yet? (e.g., purchased them over the net or phone and just have invoice).

MickeyMac · 04-28-2005

Yes, but you must provide the string of numbers on teh back of the voucher when you do so.
