Episode 40: New Disney Annual Pass Benefits

Food & Wine, golden entry, and an examination of the value found in the new Walt Disney World passholder benefits and their impact on Tables in Wonderland. Thanks for listening!

NOTE: There were two errors in the final list of restaurants we produced for our discussion of Tables in Wonderland.  First, Boma should have been in the list of restaurants that are eligible for a 10% off AP discount.  Second, we (Jeremy) neglected to copy his second page of written notes into the spreadsheet that included all of the in-park and Disney Springs restaurants that are covered by some level of AP discount.  The spreadsheet has been updated to correct both of these issues -- very sorry about that!
