A lizard fell on my windshild-PreTrip Report-November PICS!!

I predict the birth of a new pin addict being born.

Yep, I made a trade on the trade board for some starter pins too! So hopefully it won't cost me too much!!

And I just took a bashing on the restaurant board because I can't always afford to tip 20%. Heck,I didn't even know that it was that much, I thought it was 10%! So to reassure everyone that thinks I am horrible, I will be trying to save up more to tip with.

And for some background since it left in a nasty mess, My past 2 trips were not big fancy trips by any means. My august trip was a day trip after a beach vacation with my parents and last years trip was funded by my father as a birthday gift for my children. Dining plan included tips last year, so this is the first year that it's really been an issue for me. But as I said, i am going to do my best to allow extra money for larger tips.

I also have some personal issues going on that I do not wish to divulge to an message board. Although, they are likely to be reflected later on in the trip report. Regardless of everything, this trip is happening for my kids!

And on a side note--the girls and I rolled up their piggy bank money last week that they'll be using on parts of the trip!! They were so excited to take it to the bank, but didn't understand when they weren't handed cash back! (LOL, I had it deposited into my account!)

Good thing I wasn't on that message board. I only tip 15% of the food bill NOT including taxes (which here in Canada is a bit higher). I have been known NOT to tip or to tip more or less if the service warrants it and I'm sure my Disney trip will be no exception.

I'm in a too small to be a grand gathering but big enough so that my tip will be calculated for me on my bill. I haven't allotted any money for tips yet and I just know my DH will be really grumpy about it. I guess I'd better get moving on how I'm going to deal with that now.

Well I was actually way out of reality in that thread, which I'm big enough to admit right now! I have absolutely never paid attention to the food prices at Disney. It's like, i pay for the dining plan and eat, who cares what the individual prices for items are!! We eat cheap in my neck of the woods, a table service meal is only about $28 for our whole family!! So I do realize that I need to tip more at Disney now that I see that their prices are significantly higher. That still doesn't mean I'll tip 20%, but I'll tip more than $5!
