I just booked an early dinner for my dad, kids and nephew, only under 10 is my nephew, would the character meal vouchers be a good buy? Is it too late? Who has the best price?
Thanks!

You may save about $2/per meal with a voucher. Getawaytoday.com does not discount them (they sell them for the same fee as their face value). You can get a slight discount at lastminutetravel.com.
I was just there last week and it was cheaper to go through getawaytoday. For 3 of us I paid $110 including tax. When I checked in before I gave them my voucher they told me it cost $130 something including tax.
I just spoke with Disney dining - adults are $37, kids are $16, a 18% tip is added plus 8% tax, if I did my math right 3A and 1K would be $160.05
GAT is $154
Looks like LMT will be the best deal - $149.05
What I am saying it that GAT does not discount the voucher price. They are $44 for adult and $22 for kids. No matter where you buy them, or who you buy them from...they include tax and tip. I was only suggesting that if they are available for purchase on LMT.com, they are discounted further than the GAT/WDTC price. The vouchers work/are exactly the same regardless of where they are purcahsed. GAT like to make it sound like you get some added benefits with them when you talk to their reps, but that is not the case.
Were you really charged tax in addition to the charge for the 3 vouchers? That does not seem right. When I have purchased from GAT, I was just charged the voucher rate.
How does it work for vouchers? You buy them online and they mail them, email them, or you pick them up onsite?
I was not talking about discounting a voucher. I was saying by buying a voucher from GAT... or some place else (I've never shopped anywhere else), is cheaper then buying directly through Disney. From my understanding, that is what the OP was asking. To buy a voucher or just wait and pay when she got there.

Perhaps it is your wording...
When you say it is cheaper than buying directly through Disney, you make it sound like you are referring to buying vouchers from WDTC. I am pointing out that they charge the same amount for the vouchers. What I think you are trying to say is that it is cheaper to buy a voucher than to purchase the meal directly from the restaurant. If that is what you are saying...it isn't coming across that way.
Some will mail to you, email, or you will just pick the receipt up at a ticket booth or onsite hotel the day of your reservation.
I dont know what WDTC is.
You may want to make sure LMT tax and gratuity is included because it is not always I know ours with GAT had it all included when we used them 2 yrs ago
