Dinning Plan & Tips included??

[hopelea]

I was reading on allears about the dinning plan......

It says NOTE: Gratuity is no longer included unless otherwise indicated. An 18 percent gratuity will be added automatically for parties of 6 or more; a gratuity may also be added for items not included in the Dining Plan, such as alcoholic beverages.

What exactly does this mean?? We give them our card for the DP and then they bring us back the reciept that shows the credits taken off, we then write on the reciept the amount of tip we want to leave?

In 2007 when we used the DP last, tip & tax was included......

Please make sure I am understanding this correctly. Thanks!!!!

No tips are included in the dining plan in 2008 (the only exceptions are CRT and the dinner shows, the regular price of which includes the gratuity).

You'll get a bill based on the amount you would have paid for the food you ordered.

If there are less than 6 in your party, there will be suggested tip amounts of 18% and 20% printed on the bill. This does not mean you have to tip that amount.

If there are 6 or more in your party, you will be charged an automatic tip of 18% based on the menu prices of your order. You will need to pay this with cash, credit card, room key linked to credit card, or rewards dollars.
