Hi, Michael! Thank you for taking the time to contact the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Disney calls the
Taste of Magic Kingdom Park VIP Tour a "Must-Eat Experience!" This is truly a little slice of heaven for Disney Foodies, and you'll get to savor some iconic
Magic Kingdom classics like Dole Whips and Smoked Turkey Legs, as well as some special surprises!
Although I have yet to experience it, I have taken several other tours, including
Disney's Keys to the Kingdom and the
Yuletide Fantasy Tour, and we have never tipped our tour guides. In fact, it is Walt Disney World's policy that Cast Members in the theme parks cannot accept tips (exceptions to this rule would be servers at Table Service restaurants or the Cast Members at the
Harmony Barber Shop and
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique)
. When I feel I've received exemplary service, I like to send a tweet to Disney using the Twitter handle @WDWToday. Make sure to include the tour guide's name and the hashtag #CastCompliment, and if possible, a photo of the two of you together. Often, Disney will recognize the Cast Member and deliver a certificate with a screenshot of your Tweet. These compliments also get added to the Cast Member's performance record.
Have a great time snacking on your tour, Michael! Make sure to try the Grey Stuff...it's delicious!
