Bus service - resort to MK

[sdjen]

Sorry for the dumb question but we are using the Disney transportation for the first time on our upcoming trip. I know I will tip the MDE driver from airport to resort as they will be handling luggage.

My question is - is it expected to tip the bus driver from the resort to the park (and back)? I am planning how much cash to take and want to figure this in if expected.

Thanks!

No, it is not expected. No one ever tips the bus driver from resort to park and back.

Thanks! I just wasn't sure.

I would assume that since you are talking about the DME driver handling luggage that you are not using the "luggage to resort" option of the DME package. If you were, then you would not be handling your luggage with DME and thus no tips.

In my many years of trips to WDW I have never seen anyone tip the bus driver and that even includes all the work the drivers do to assist handicapped people on and off the bus. The only time I have tipped anyone at WDW is when I call the bell desk to transport my bags from my room to the DME bus. I also did tip the tour guide when I did some of the back lot tours...but only if they were great.
