Candlelight Processional Dinner package question - The DIS Discussion Forums

amy_225 · 11-23-2009, 11:42 PM

Hi all!
We are a party of six, so I realize a tip will be automatic for us. I'm trying to figure out on the CP package (which I realize takes two TS credits) am I paying tip based on the price I paid for the package, or what we order off the menu? And I guess that question goes for all my dining...am I paying tip on menu items in all cases, or what I paid for the plan?
TIA!

When we have gone it is calculated off what the menu price would be.

That's kind of what I was afraid of, LOL! I hate it because we really had to scale back to make this trip work anyway after a tough year, so I'm on a much tighter budget than I'd like to be. I went to allearsnet and figured out kind of what we'd probably order from each place, and it still amounts to about $150 to $200 in tips alone! Ugh! I hate that the tip is an automatic 18%, regardless of the service you may/may not receive. If that wasn't the case, I'd be doing 15% on this trip. As it is, we aren't budgeting anything for souvenirs this trip at all - just lots of pictures! I remind the kids that all their souvenirs from the last trip are in the bottom of a toybox already, and they're excited enough about going that they really don't care right now. Once we get down there and start walking through those cleverly placed stores at the end of all the rides, however, that could change DRASTICALLY!

Tipping thread closed as question has been answered (and yes, the tip should be based on the menu price of the meal, not the package price, and will be automatically charged for a party of six).
