I have made reservations for a party of 8 people at several restaurants at WDW but 2 of the kids are 1 year olds, will the servers put the gratuity automatically or b/c they are under 3 do I get to decide how much to leave? Do I have to bring cash for tip?

Question

Answer 1

Hi Nicole, Infants and toddlers do count toward the total number of guests at your table, regardless of whether they are actually eating. However, Disney automatically assesses an 18% gratuity for parties of six or more, so you'd still have the tip automatically added even if the youngsters didn't count. You do not have to have cash to pay your restaurant tip. You can charge the gratuity to your room, put it on a credit or debit card, or use a Disney gift card. Good luck with your planning. Please let us know if we can provide additional assistance.
