Traveling with mother in law, husband, 6 yr old, 2 yr old and 4 month old. Will the restaurants consider the infant a guest even though she won't be dining on any of their food? I know parties of 6 are automatically charged with 20% gratuity.

Hi Anne, Thank you for your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I hope you are looking forward to your visit to the Disney Parks. The rule of thumb is that gratuity is added to the bill when there are 6 paying guests in the party; however, it is ultimately the manager's discretion. I highly recommend, upon being seated, speaking with your server about that specific restaurant's and manager's policy. I hope this helps and that you all have a magical time. Please write back if you have any other questions planning your pixie-dusted vacation. ~ Lynette

I'm a mama, a wife, an artist, a believer in Pixie Dust and I love fashion with a Disney twist. I live Disney every day, quite literally. My family and I live in the real "UP" house replica from the beloved Disney•Pixar film. We are always chasing our dreams by living our family motto, unashamedly borrowed from Walt himself, "Keep Moving Forward." Learn More About Lynette
