Hi Christine! Thanks so much for giving us an A+ - you're so sweet! Unless you're a party of six or more where a gratuity of 18% is automatically added to the bill, tipping is at your discretion. While dining at buffets, you will have a server, and if your family is like mine, they might do even more than at a full service restaurant, constantly having to take away dishes, replenish beverages and replace cutlery! For both the buffets and full service, you will receive a bill with actual costs of the meal. They will also give you suggested tip amounts at different percentages (I'm thinking 15%, 18% and 20%, but I could be mistaken on that), that you can use, or select your own amount based on the service you receive. A few restaurants have gratuity included - Cinderella&rsquo;s Royal Table, the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Review, Spirit of Aloha and Mickey's Backyard Barbeque. Hope this helps Christine!
