Hi Matthew, and welcome to planDisney!
Having also taken advantage of the fabulous dining credit offer, I can attest to how it enhances the Disney experience with its flexibility. I hope you'll find it just as delightful.
We discovered that yes, the promotional credit can be used towards gratuities when settling the bill at Disney restaurants. That said, it's a good idea to double-check with your server or a Cast Member when you receive your bill to avoid surprises.
You will receive your dining credit as a digital card sent to the email address you provided when booking your
Disney Resort hotel (so please ensure you have access to this email on your arrival day). Present your digital card to a friendly Cast Member when you're ready to pay. They’ll scan the barcode, and voilà - a little Disney magic!
I always like to recommend a Character Dining experience to Guests.
Garden Grill Restaurant in
EPCOT consistently pleases our whole family with delightful character interactions and a delicious menu, some of which is grown in the nearby
Living with the Land conservatory. I suggest riding this attraction before your meal for the ultimate farm-to-fork experience.
I hope this information helps, Matthew! Enjoy an adventure filled with Disney magic.
