Tipping....

[JoanieS]

Who do we tip???

I know we tip Mousekeeping, we have all the envelopes printed for daily mousekeeping tips. And, we have DDP, so we need tips for the servers, other than that, who?

Do we tip the ME driver? If so, how much?

Who else gets tipped?

Do we tip the ME driver? If so, how much? We did because we flew SW and had to carry our own luggage back tot he airport. I think my DH gave him $5...we had 2 bags and an umbrella stroller.

Who else gets tipped? If you use a bellhop they would get tipped too I suppose (we were at Pop so that was not an issue).

My hubby and I have only used magical express once and he's one of those folks that will tip you for saying hi to him. The ME driver grabed our luggage [a rolling carry on and two checked pieces] and put it in and took it off the bus. My husband slipped him a ten, five for each of us. I personally think that's a bit much, but I also don't mind tipping for good, friendly service even if it is viewed as "doing their job". If you think you received exceptional service then feel free to slip the driver a few bucks, if you don't feel comfortable doing so then don't. It's all up to you:)

[Debi]

I agree with bas71873, don't forget to tip the bellhop if you choose to use their services on your departure (DME delivers your luggage directly to your room on your arrival day). Standard tip is $1 per bag.

Have a great trip!

[JoanieS]

Thanks, everyone!

bas78173 - looks like we are arriving the same day!!!! We are staying at POFQ and going to the MNSSHP on the 5th!

[pigletto]

For those of you that tip mousekeeping... do you do it daily or at the end of your stay?
(I will be tipping them no matter what.. so please please please let's keep this nice happy tipping thread debate free:goodvibes :rotfl: )
I was thinking daily as you would have different people on different days?:confused3

To the Op... I think you would also tip valet parking if you used any. Not sure though.:)

[DisneyWalle]

We tip mousekeeping daily. Especially since there is always the possibility of having different mousekeepers each day.

[JoanieS]

We will tip Mousekeeping daily too!

[pigletto]

Thank you!:goodvibes

[MinnieLee]

We tip Mousekeeping (or any maid service) daily in case they change their schedules or are off when we check out. Bell services we tip $2.00 per bag. ME driver is usually $7-10. We flew out of LaGuardia airport to Hilton Head in April and it was mandatory that we give $3.00 per bag for curbside check in and the sky cap made sure he pointed to the sign to let me know that tip was not included. We would have tipped him anyway but made sure that we did so that our luggage did not wind up in Europe! We tip everyone sometimes to a fault but we believe in giving a little extra for good service.

[bas71873]

And from the looks of the the boards, we may be the only people at MNSSHP on the 5th...which is fine by me!! Have you stayed at POFQ before? This is our first time....DD is very excited about the pink dragon slide at the pool :)...although she does not know about the trip yet...she just saw a show with the slide and said she wanted to stay there!!!

[pakhowe]

How much do you tip Mousekeeping daily? Our last trip was 4 nights/5 days and we left $10 at the end. Is that customary, $2 per day? Or was I stingy? It was a long time ago so maybe I have to up my tip envelope?

I think the rule of thumb for Mousekeeping is $1-$2per day/per person in your party. There are 3 of us. I tip $5/day. BTW, it has to be said that the more you tip...the better towel animals you receive!!!

[erynsmom]

I have my tips set aside for mousekeeping and I will have to try and figure tips for TS, but does anyone tip for CS? Or is it just like going for McD's?
Does anyone tip their delivery person from Garden Grocer?

[Tnkrbelle565]

CS is like McD's...no tips. You serve yourself. SO your only other tips will be for CS. I don't think you tip garden grocer because I don't think you actually see them.

[mollyseven]

With regards to garden grocer....when you place your order there is space for a tip to be added to your bill....I actually don't like that and prefer to be there when the order is delivered then I know it's getting to the right person.....I guess that's just my nature (glass half empty?) but it's my feelings.

[Wild4Walt]

Mousekeeping, bell hop, ME driver, concierge.

[lyzziesmom]

CS is like McD's...no tips. You serve yourself. SO your only other tips will be for CS. I don't think you tip garden grocer because I don't think you actually see them.

This made me think... what about buffets? I've only eaten at buffets during free dining when the tip used to be included, so I honestly never even noticed if a tip is expected at a buffet restaurant or not. Growing up, my parents never tipped at buffets and I didn't even know it was common practice to tip at buffets until I was in my 30s! :scared1:

If a tip is expected at a WDW buffet, do they still expect the same 18% as at a TS? It seems a little much since the servers really don't do as much work as at a TS, they just seat you, fill your drinks, and bring the bill and a busser clears the table -- it's not nearly as much service as you'd get in a full-service TS restaurant.

I hope I'm not coming across as stingy, I just really don't know how to budget now that we have to pay our own tips during free dining and I'd rather find out now than look like a tightwad when we're there.

[happymommy]

I have always tipped at buffets. At Disney, we have found the service (like at Boma) to exceptional - so we have tipped the usual 15 - 20%. My DS has allergies, and the chef brought out such wonderful items for him the first time - made just for him! Definitely tip at a Disney buffet.

We leave $5 per day for mousekeeping (maybe less if I don't have enough cash with me while leaving the room in the morning, sometimes a lot more if we have an extra thing we are needing, like when I've needed the sheets changed when my kids were sick and I wanted to make sure the germs were all gone, gave and extra $20 that time, or if I request a bunch of extra towels and pillows I give them some money for that, or if they bring the fridge I give them a few dollars to deliver that, as we always need one for medical reasons).

I think any time they do something nice and it seems like a tipped position I tip.

Definitely bellhop, about $2 per bag. Depends on how much stuff you have and what you feel comfortable with.

We have not stayed at POFQ - we have not been to Disney in 18 years! (See my pre-trip report, linked in my sig) I chose it based on reviews and the small size. The 5th does not look like too popular a MNSSHP, does it?

Are you dressing up? My kids are going to be Indiana Jones, the adults...not sure yet!

You are not, don't worry! :)

Yes, you definately are expected to tip at a WDW buffet!:goodvibes We tip 20% everywhere (doesn't matter if it's buffet or if we are served), more for superior service and a bit less for inferior (theoretically, it would have to be really bad). If you are in a party of 6 or more (including babies) an 18% gratuity will automatically be added to your bill at any TS location (buffet or not), otherwise it will be at your discretion as to how/what you tip.

The tips not being included this year added a whole new dynamic to planning, didn't it? :goodvibes We bouncedback last September, and since September I have saved all my change in a jar (just mine, not DH or DS). I have cashed in $207.00 (deposited into vacation account) as it began to fill up, and have about another $100.00 worth of change in there now. I am guessing the change will equal about $320.00 or so before we leave (total, all year) and that is what I have planned to use towards tipping this September! :thumbsup2

Have a fantastic vacation! :woohoo:

[ptcbass]

Ok we have used ME in the past and if I remember when we got on the bus the driver wasn't even around. Who do you tip, when and how much? I know to tip mousekeeping or bellhops but I haven't heard of tipping the ME driver. Any suggestions on what everyone does. I am not trying to be stingy but I also don't want to tip if it isn't the normal thing to do.
:confused3

[imthatgirl]

while we are there we only tip servers, table service or buffet, they get the same from us.

i dont use the other services, but if you do i would think mousekeepers, anyone that touches your bags and any drivers you use would be the people you tip.

[lyzziesmom]

Maybe I just don't pay attention or people are very sneaky, but I don't recall ever seeing anyone tip the ME drivers and I've used ME about 5 times. I do recall seeing people tip the guy who you can call to come bring your bags from your room to the lobby. Also when we've had Luggage Services hold our bags between checking out and getting onto the evening ME bus, I've never seen anyone tip those guys for bringing their bags out either. I'll have to pay more attention (and bring more cash) next time!

Me neither. Do you tip the ME driver at first or when you are getting off the bus? Also we use the baggage check at the hotel for our carry on so we can head off to the parks. I haven't seen anyone ever tip those guys either. :confused3 :surfweb:

We tip the ME driver when we are getting off the bus. We tip them because they are handling our stroller. If the driver doesn't handle and bags/strollers, I don't think a tip is necessary.

[PISCESANGEL]

How much do you usually tip Mousekeeping per day?

[peanuttrip]

we have also been saving change to help pay for some of the xtras on our trip this oct.. one way to make tips unique is to get $2 bills. $75 worth and $25 worth of dollar coins. makes tipping easy

[ptcbass]

How much do you usually tip Mousekeeping per day?
There are 3 of us and I try to make sure we don't leave the room in a mess so we tip $1 for each of us per day ($3 per day).

[Lovin Mickey]

There is no reason to tip an ME driver unless they handle your bags or stroller. It's usually $1-2 per bag. You wouldn't tip a public bus driver would you so why tip a ME driver? :) Hope this helps. You could also check a manners book. I usually refer to Emily Post.

[anne0866]

Last december - our son got very sick while on our trip and we were stuck in our room for 3 days. The mousekeeper totally and completely cleaned our room. really she fumigated it for us when he finally was feeling better! She went above and beyond. She gave us clean blankets, bedspreads and new fresh pilloes also. My hubby tracked her down specifically and gave her $45. We wanted to make sure that she got the tip and not the person the next day. But usually we tip daily about $2-$3.

BTW she even came to check on us a few days later even when our room was not assigned to her!

[Tnkrbelle565]

We tip $5/ day for the 3 of us. And we definately tip daily because the rooms are cleaned by different staff daily.

[bdiddy]

I'm so glad I saw this thread! It never occured to me to tip the housekeeping. This is our first trip and we leave in 26 days and I'm still learning so much :)

So - in regards to tipping Mousekeeping. Do you just leave the money on the table in the room with a note? Or how do you do it?

[DisneyWalle]

I make mousekeeping envelopes with characters on the front that say "THANK YOU for wonderful service!" I believe the Creative DISign forum has some examples that you could use.

And I also put the envelope on the table or bathroom vanity each morning. We tip daily because you may not have the same mousekeeper each day.

It has been my observation that when we tip the mousekeeping service is better - more towels and towel animals.

so cute! I just did mine tonight, and they look a lot like that...I put stickers of the characters on them with a "thank you"


I have a question....so if you're not supposed to tip the ME driver...who can I tip for getting the bags to the room? Do we need to be there when the bags get delived and a bellhop will bring them up? and we tip him then? We weren't planning on staying at the hotel when we get in right away, we were going to head out for a day at the parks and not get back until around 10:30ish. I want to make sure I'm tipping the appropriate person.

[lyzziesmom]

Since the bags being brought to the room is part of the ME service, and the bags will arrive even if you're not in the room (usually for us they arrive when we're off enjoying the parks) I always assumed this was not a tipped position.

[bdiddy]

Those are cute! Thanks for posting the pics and for the ideas. My husband is a graphic designer so I'm going to have him make something up for us!

[mickeyfan1226]

I am glad I stopped by this thread. I never think about tipping until it is too late. I have my envelopes ready this time and am starting to fill them. This way I don't have to worry about having the money all at once. We will be there for 14 days so that is quite a bit of money. :rotfl: Now for mousekeeping do you give 1$ per person in the room or what. I know that tips at the restaraunts are % atleast I think so. :confused3
Thanks for the assistance.

We give $5/day for Mousekeeping. There are 3 of us. Tips at the restaurants are only 18% added in if you are a party of 6 or more. If you have less than 6 people, you will chose your own tip. We tip 20% at sit down restaurants and a little less at the buffets.

My son loves to leave the tip as if one of his stuffed animals is folding the cash!!! The mousekeepers seems to like it. On several occassions we come back to our room and find the stuffed animals playing cards and watching tv!

[sskem96]

We have always tipped mousekeeping $5/day. I just leave it on the nightstand with a post-it note that says "for mousekeeping". They are not allowed to take any money that's lying out unless it's specifically addressed to them.

We tip the ME driver $10 each way. There is a sign on the ME bus that says something like "gratuities appreciated", so we figured it was expected. We have also gotten drivers who did a good job of entertaining us on the ride. I figure if we hired a Mears shuttle on our own, we would be expected to tip, so why would it be ok to not tip just because the shuttle ride is free?

We also tip the people at the airport who help us get our bags from ME to the gate, $2/bag.

For dining, we double the tax, then round up. There was an episode of Friends where Monica was a waitress and she said you are supposed to double the tax, so that's what we started doing. Tax rates vary from place to place, but it generally comes out to about 18% and it's a quick and easy way to figure it.

haha, love FRIENDS.
"I said double the tax, not double the tax of romania!"

[disneyplanningdad]

My approach to tipping is to show some appreciation for personal service. I try to stay aware of the fact that people are doing things for me and my family. I don't go down to WDW with a definite plan of who I will tip but instead I go down with lots of singles so that any time someone adds some magic to my day , I can express my apreciation with more than just a "Thank You." Wait staff and mousekeepers are obvious because they are serving me while I enjoy myself. Same thing for skycaps and bell service. A tip is a recognition that someone is doing something for you that you could have done yourself. Tourguides similarly give some personal service. Baby sitters and staff at kids clubs are candidates. Bus drivers (ME and regular Disney Transportation) are often very entertaining and or informative and therefore deserving of some gesture on my part. I try to be ready for all possibilities like the maitre'd at Rose & Crown who seats us at a lagoonfront table jsut before illuminations starts, or the monorail driver who gets my kids a spotin the front of the car. All these people are part of what makes Disney so magical and deserve "a little something extra."

[ADAMANDLISA]

How does doubling a 6.5% tip and then rounding up equal out to be an 18% tip?:confused3 Not flaming, just asking.

[disneyplanningdad]

An alternative for easy math is to divide the total by 6. This equal 16.66% and you can round up or down from there.

[lyzziesmom]

Saw a quote in Reader's Digest this morning and thought of this thread. It went something like this:

"As an alternative to vacationing, just walk around and tip every third person you see." :laughing:

[Tnkrbelle565]

Doubling the tax only works in certain states! Seriously, I can't do math so I automatically give 20% because it's really easy to figure that out :lmao:

[ADAMANDLISA]

I always tip 20% too. It is easy to figure out, and it's what most people tip.

I've always considered myself pretty good at math and just couldn't figure out where they were getting double the tax from.:confused3

Well, I think the person who posted that said they got that from Friends...Friends was set in NYC where the meal tax is almost 9% so doubling that would give almost 18%. BUT, again meal tax is different in every state.

:idea: I feel like a light bulb when on over my head! Man, these pregnancy hormones render me incapable of thinking!:rotfl: That makes sense! I forgot that every state is different. I really hope those using that method remember that it's only 6.5% in Disney!:thumbsup2

[fey_spirit]

Not true. I tipped 5 dollars a day for our last ten day trip (for just the two of us) and never got a single towel animal other then the one waiting for us when we "moved in" - which of course was before we had a chance to tip anything.

Where were you staying? Sadly at Disney...it seems like the more you pay for the resort, the more towel animals you receive. Also, when DH and I went by ourselves we NEVER got towel animals. When we started bringing DD, suddenly we got them. I think if they know there is a young child in the room, they are more apt to do them too

See what I mean, here is a cool towel "doll" they made DD last year...We didn't get anything like that at POP!

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg269/ksc565/Toweldoll.jpg

[lyzziesmom]

I've gotten tons of towel animals and even a towel toothbrush holder staying at the values, and this was back before I knew tips were expected. Got nada at POFQ or SSR. I think it's just random.

[captainj]

I just wanted to say that I read somewhere (sorry, can't remember where) that the bellhops who deliver your bags from ME to your rooms have their tips included in their salaries by Disney because 75% of the time, guests are NOT in their rooms when their luggage arrives. This way they aren't jipped out of their tips. I wish I could find the source again, but it does make a lot of sense. Just as an aside though, if I WAS in my room, I think I would still feel like I needed to tip them, habit I guess! pirate:

This is true. Actually a lot of CM positions are not allowed to accept tips.

[ptcbass]

OK, not to beat a dead horse but from reading here I now know that you are supposed to tip the ME drivers and you wait till you get off the bus at the resort. Ok well what about on your return to the airport. Is the bus driver the one that handles all the luggage again or does the resort cm's load it up? Who do you tip then and are you supposed to tip on the return trip?? :confused3

The bus drivers load your stuff in and out of the bus at the airport (carryon bags, strollers, etc). Again we tip them as we are leaving the bus.

We got a dog, a bear and a super cool rabbit and an animal of unknown species:lmao: all at Pop. We tipped between $3-$5 per day(depending on the condition of the room -extra garbage, fresh towels, etc.). But we also left "thank you" notes for the animals-trying to get our DD into good habits.:thumbsup2

They don't load your check-in luggage...a different bus takes that with you if you are flying a participating airline. But he does handle carryons and strollers so yes, I think he deserves a tip.

[eeyore#1fan]

I have my tips set aside for mousekeeping and I will have to try and figure tips for TS, but does anyone tip for CS? Or is it just like going for McD's?
Does anyone tip their delivery person from Garden Grocer?

You're kidding, right?

[eeyore#1fan]

On our last trip I actually tipped the CM that booked our vacation for us. I tipped her $600 because afterall she was the one that did all the work. When we go back next July I plan on tipping everyone just so nobody looks down on me. I might even tip some other guests.

[DISNEYRIFFIC]

Well I guess I'll need to really think about how I tip now too!
Never really thought too much about it before.

[MS Sweety]

I just came in on this and wondered if anybody asked about the Photo Pass People that take your pictures? Are you supposed to tip them too? and if so how much do you tip?:confused3 :confused:

I just came in on this and wondered if anybody asked about the Photo Pass People that take your pictures? Are you supposed to tip them too? and if so how much do you tip?:confused3 :confused:

No you don't tip Photopass. Most CMs can't accept tips anyway. Stick with Mousekeeping and the waiters at TS and you'll be fine!!

WHEW!!! That's one less person to tip!
