Multi-part questions

[Shanna-like-Banana]

Hi, I guess I'm still earning my ears here. Several questions.

How do you go about part of your party not being on the DDP. My dad and his wife will join us for 2 of the 7 days, but they are not on the plan. Will the restaurants be willing to split the check ? I don't expect my dad to carry enough cash for their portion of the bill at each meal, but nor do I want to end up with any of their charges. But nor do I expect him to pay our portion of the tip charged to his credit card. Also how do they go about the 18% charge for parties of 6 or more while on the plan. Do they just charge that to your KTTW or can you pay cash ?

I had read somewhere about some new mini loaf size cakes available at some of the restaurants, either a Princess or treasure chest, rather than ordering some of the other cakes.

I had also read about some hidden free soda samples somewhere in Epcot ? Where you can go into a store and sample some free sodas from around the world.

Lastly, in Epcot in Germany, can I just get a German Pretzel to go. I have been craving them since we moved from Germany. Any Germans out there, is this the real deal ?

Restaurants will provide separate checks, no problem. Please be sure to inform your server before ordering.

There is a 'sticky' thread on the Disney Restaurants forum dedicated to tipping, where all such discussion should be held, but briefly: yes. DDP Guests will get a separate check/slip for the(ir share of) the gratuity.

No idea about the cakes. Again, see the main Restaurant forum.

It's not hidden - it's called Club Cool; it's adjacent to the FountainView and to the right of the actual fountain, beyond SpaceShip earth. There are several dispensers with the same eight or so international Coke products, and small cups for sampling. You can also purchase some Coke-related souvenirs, but none of the soda.

No idea, but probably.
