thank you!! that's what i originally thought.
We are traveling with another family who is on the DDP. We are not because it doesn't make sense for us. We would like to have some TS meals together. I know that we will pay OOP for our meals. My question is will the tips be included on the check and which check since we will have 6 people - 4 on DDP, 2 not. I was told by my TA that dining together is not a problem, just tell the server who is on the plan and who is not.

Are people tipping when they have lunch at BOG? I know it's QS, but they bring out your food, so sort of in between CS and TS.
Thanks.
I realize that tipping is a personal preference, but I would appreciate some suggestions/advice please.
I am dining at Victoria & Albert's next week for the 1st time, for my birthday.
I have never eaten at such a fancy dining establishment.
This will be a new experience for me...I'm kinda nervous. LOL
I have heard that there are 2 wait staff for each table.
For example:
If my bill is $200 & I wanted to tip 20%...then 20 % would be $40 tip...
Do I leave 2 tips at 20%?
Or 1 larger tip for them to split?
What is the etiquette on this for Victoria & Albert's...I have no clue.
Thanks in advance!
We went last year for the first time with just my family of 4 and were on DDP. We tipped with cash as it was never more than 6 in our party and it was not automatically added. Going again this year with my sisters family and we have 3 ADRs with them so it will be 8 fir those meals. Question: when tip is automatically added for parties of 6 or more can we pay it with cash or does it have to be added to room charge? Thanks
ALD85 said:At the character meals, does anyone know if the servers "tip out" to the characters?
we have a character breakfast at the Hollywood & Vine buffet one morning. We have 4 people in our party. I have read SEVERAL reviews on tripadvisor that people are saying the servers are adding the 18% tip to the check EVEN for parties of 4 people!
Is this common? I am not looking forward to confronting the server/manager if this happens to us
I'm not really sure if this is the place to ask this or not, but I am trying to be Ms. Organization and put all of our tips in their respective envelopes (with a 2 year old, the less I have to do at the table, the better!). But anyway, we are a party of 9 (including my 2 year old), so I know we will atleast need to pay the 18% - and we will have 3 seperate checks. I think I read that she gets a free kids drink, but will eat off our plate. So, when I do my figuring, do I add in her drink amount, our entree and drink amount, and our desert amount (we have free dining)? Also, how much is tax, because I add tax in before I figure out the 18% gratuity right?
I hope this isn't confusing and if this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it or let me know and I will. Thanks!
If I have a gift card for a restaurant (ie Rainforest Cafe at DTD)after paying for the meal with the GC can I use the balance on the giftcard to pay the tip?? I always wondered about this at any restaurant.
