AP discounts on dinning?

[BeccaG]

Greetings! I am a veteran when it comes to dland but as a west coaster I am an infrequent traveler to WDW. I am considering getting APs for a 2013 trip when we plan to stay much longer than we have in the past. I was looking at getting the Tables in Wonderland card as well in order to get discounts. AP dinning discounts here in California are fairly prolific but it appears that without TIW the dinning discounts for APs in Florida are minimal. Am I reading the information correctly or am I missing something?

AP dining discounts at WDW are not that great. Not available everywhere and lots of times they are for lunch only. TiW card is the way to go, IMO.

Thanks, that is what I have heard and was gathering in my reading but wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something!
