    Hello moms. We are traveling from San Jose, Costa Rica. Can you please let us know how do tips and taxes work at WDW (we want a BOG reservation) We generally don't give tips in our country since the service tax is already included in the bill. Thanks!

    Hi Adriana,

    Just a few more weeks until your magical vacation starts. How exciting!

    My family loves to dine throughout the Resort. We typically have a nice lunch at a Quick-Service Restaurant, enjoy a Snack mid-afternoon, and have a sit down dinner at a Table-Service Restaurant. In general, prices listed in the menus do not include taxes. When you are ready to pay, your bill will indicate the subtotal, the corresponding sales tax, and the total to be paid.

    At Table-Service restaurants, it is customary to leave a gratuity for good service. Your bill will indicate suggestions for you between 18% and 20% that you can add to the total. Note that some dinner shows like Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue already include gratuities. Also, Snack carts in general list prices that already include the sales tax.

    One last tip: Be Our Guest Restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch as a Quick-Service restaurant, whereas it operates offers Table Service for dinner. Do you have a reservation? If not, keep checking. Many Guests change their plans at the last minute. See you real soon!

    Ricardo.
