Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Jennifer! Thank you for stopping by to bring us such a good question!
Jennifer, I have both and Annual Pass and the Tables in Wonderland card, a first-time purchase for me this year.
Your Annual Pass automatically allows you to enjoy some benefits and discounts for things like merchandise and Dining that you can enjoy while your AP is active. There is no additional cost to enjoy these added benefits.
Tables in Wonderland is a discount card available for purchase for Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, and Florida Residents. This card offers a higher discount
on select Restaurants and it includes alcoholic beverages. Tables in Wonderland also has added benefits like Complimentary Valet parking to enjoy when you are visiting resort restaurants, among other benefits you can browse on the site.
For my family, as locals, having Tables in Wonderland has been a great savings since we frequently dine at the parks and resorts and it has already paid for itself. I recommend crunching numbers and checking that the restaurants you are planning to visit accept the discounts. Don’t forget that Tables in Wonderland is also good for up to 10-guests dining together, so if you are planning on visiting with family and friends, TIW can provide great savings. Just remember, the card holder has to pay for the check in full.
I hope this information is helpful! I always enjoy getting to stretch my Disney dollars, so I can splurge on more magic during my visits. If you have any additional questions, be sure to stop by!
Wishing you a magical day,
Emille
