Hi Barbara!
Thank you for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Your
Walt Disney World trip is so close ... I bet you guys are too excited to sleep!!
Tipping is definitely a personal preference and experience. I can give you some guidelines of who I generally tip, but please know that it's entirely up to you.
I usually tip a valet driver and bellhop between $2 - $5, depending on how helpful and friendly they are. We stick with around 20% tip for servers at restaurants, but it can vary based on their service. I also usually leave something for "mousekeeping" in the room. They work very hard to clean up and make our room perfect, so I like to tip them to say thanks! If possible, I leave between $10 - $20 every couple of days for them.
There may be other times you feel the desire to tip. Things I can think of are tour guides, bartenders, activity leaders, etc.
Again, these are just guidelines. All tips are appreciated by the Disney Cast Members.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
