I meant to explain...are the tips added on or do I choose my amount of the tip? I realize tips are not included in the plan, but does Disney bill my the tip? The way I am reading it, they do this on the Delux plan and/or on the DDP if you have a party of 6.
The way I am understanding it - you can choose how to cover your tip. You may pay cash, charge to your room, or put your tip on another credit card or Disney Rewards card.
Tips are included at CRT and the dinner shows because the regular price of the meals include the gratuity. If you were paying for these events and not using the dining plan, you would pay the entire amount up front when you book.
Otherwise, if you are on the DDP or the Deluxe DDP, your tip is not included in the price of the plan. If your party is 6 people or more, you should have an 18% gratuity automatically added to your bill.
