Hi all! We are going back to WDW for 8 days in April-staying at AKL - we upgraded in December to Annual Passes. I am considering purchasing the TIW card and here are my calculations:
NOT USING TIW: Cost of Dining : $800 plus tax at 7% ($56) plus gratuity at 18% ($144) = $1000
USING TIW : COST OF TIW $150 PLUS food cost $800 minus discount (-$160) plus tax ($44.80 if they tax on discounted amount) plus gratuity ($144) so total is $978.80
Of course this is assuming i ONLY eat at restaurants that take the TIW card.
now if they tax before discount....$990
So, I am essentially getting the TIW card free right? Since i would have spent $1000 on dining but the same dining is $978.80 but i still have the TIW card to use for a year. (BTW when i called to inquire on cost the rep. said that if i order in Feb. that the card would expire 3.31.20 )
just want to add that DH and i spent over $250 on one meal at Jiko in December-worth every penny-he had bourbon and i had 3 glasses of wine.
Please let me know if my numbers are wrong
