There is going to be 6 of us and that means the tip will be included in our bill. Since we have the meal plan, does that mean we pay the tip out of pocket with cash or does it come off the credit card on file with the reservations?

Question

Answer 1

Hi there, Elissa!

It sounds like you understand the Disney Dining Plan very well. You are correct that the use of Disney Dining Plan table-service credits does not include a gratuity. Because your party is comprised of six Guests, an automatic 18% gratuity will be added to your bill. You will choose whether you'd like to pay for this gratuity with cash, the credit card attached to your MagicBand or with some other credit card presented in person. Just let your server know which option you would prefer.

Enjoy your Disney Dining Plan and don't forget to call (407) WDW-DINE, or (407) 939-3463, 180 days in advance of your arrival to make reservations for any table-service restaurants that you'd like to try. And don't hesitate to let my friends and me here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel know if you need any suggestions for fabulous places to dine. We love to talk Disney dining!

Best wishes,
Jill
