Question

Answer 1

Hi, Andrea!

You are correct. When there are 6 or more guests dining at the same table, an 18% gratuity will be added to each of your checks. Each party will have a separate check so each can pay with their own dining credits, and also pay for the gratuity and and any "extras" ordered during the meal. You can let your server know how you would like your check divided at the start of your meal.

I am sure you will be pleased with your service as the servers at Disney are top notch and will go out of their way to ensure a magical dining experience!
