    I am getting mix information on this when searching past posts here and asking cast member on the app: when dining at Cinderella Royal Table using only dining credits, do we have to pay tips (gratuities) on top of the two dining credits or is it included?

    Hiya Sara,

    Welcome back to planDisney! We are so excited that you continue to visit us for help navigating the Disney Dining Plan and your upcoming vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth! With your trip under a month away, I’m sure you are anxious to iron out your final details.

    I’m sorry to hear you have been seeing conflicting information. That definitely makes planning a little challenging. Hopefully, I can help provide clarity and get you back to planning. Sara, I confirmed with a Cast Member that gratuities are not included with the dining plans for almost all dining locations. The two exceptions to this are when you use the Disney Dining Plan for Cinderella’s Royal Table or Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue. At these two locations, gratuities are already included with your credits.

    I hope this has helped clear everything up, Sara. Before I let you go, your visit occurs during the Disney Princess Half Marathon weekend, so I wanted to remind you to start thinking about Lightning Lane Multi-Passes. The theme parks historically get busy that weekend, so having lightning lanes will help you maximize and save time waiting in lines. Please come back and see us if you need anything else.

    Happy Planning,

    Ashley F.
