    We paid for the Disney Dining plan. Does the plan include the tip as well, Or do we generally leave a tip outside of the plan? If it does include the cost of a tip, is it considered rude not to leave an additional tip? Thanks for the info!

    Thanks for your question, Devone!  My family loves the Disney Dining Plan. I hope you find it as flexible and cost-effective as we typically do.

    The Disney Dining Plan does not include a tip for the cast member who will be serving you at a table service meal.  Groups of six or more will automatically have a 20% gratuity added to their bill.  Smaller groups can determine the amount of an appropriate tip, which they will then pay out-of-pocket. 

    I hope you find this information helpful.

    Have a magical day!
