I am planning a trip next year with my family of five and my mother and father and plan to purchase the deluxe dining plan. Does the 18% gratutiy for large parties include young children my two youngest are 4? Thanks for your help.

Question

Answer 1

With the Disney Dining Plan, parties of six or more people will have an 18% gratuity automatically added to their bill. Children are part of this head count. For counting purposes, your family of five, plus your parents , would give you a party size of seven. You will be automatically charged the gratuity.

On an unrelated note ... As a fellow parent of twins, I can tell you that bringing extra family members with you on your trip is a great idea. When our twins were preschoolers, there was a big difference between the trips where we had reinforcements and the trips were we did not.

I hope you all have a wonderful visit to WDW!
