Family of 6, 2 rooms, dining plan. We will be charged an automatic tip at table service meals. Do we get to choose how to pay the tip, or does it automatically go to one of our rooms? I just want to make sure I don't pay it twice. Thanks for your help!

Hello Julianne, When on the Disney Dining Plan, gratuity is not included at many of your table service meals. However, there are a few dining experiences at which your tip is already included. They are: Cinderella's Royal Table Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue Spirit of Aloha Mickey's Backyard BBQ Grand Gathering Experiences That said, there are no set rules for gratuities at Disney. But just as it was told to Pinocchio, let your conscience be your guide. Needless to say, if I see a Cast Member doing a good deed, reward them! Hope this helps!

My family loves our Main Street in Ohio. But there's simply no comparison to Main Street U.S.A.! We don't get to Disney quite as often as I'd like, but that just means finding new ways to sprinkle Pixie Dust on our adventures! Learn More About Monina
