    Luv The Mom's Panel...It has helped in my Disney vacation planning. ? We, 2 adults & 2 kids (5 & 3), will be there for 11 nights & 12 days. We are getting the Deluxe Dining Plan & were wondering what is the typical tip for Buffets/TS dining

    Hi Alba!

    A typical gratuity is between 15% and 20% of your total dining ticket (before tax, if any).  This holds true for the table service and buffet dining experiences, but not counter service.

    When a party is 6 people or more Disney adds an automatic gratuity of 18% to the bill and most people that I know use that 18% as a guide for what they should leave in Disney World regardless of the party size.

    I hope that you have a wonderful time full of Disney Magic!
