Does 2 year old count as person in party of 6? Re:Mandatory tip.

[Disneyliscious]

Just wondering if a 2 year old (who will not be ordering food or drink) would be counted to make us a party of 6 which would require the 20% tip?

Yes although the auto-grat is only 18%

 

[Nancyg56]

Yes, everybody counts.

 

[_auroraborealis_]

In large amounts.

 

[Deb & Bill]

You're not going to feed that two year old at all at the table?

 

[maxiesmom]

Ever person who is at the table counts, no matter how small. And no matter if they order their own food or share with someone. Bodies at the table are what counts.

 

[Marissa227]

Yes, we had a party of 6 in which the youngest was 2 on our last trip. Gratuity was added automatically at all restaurants.

Yes. We've had trips when there were six of us including 2 toddler/infants and we were charged the 18% gratuity. It's number of bodies, not number of people eating or being charged.

Wouldn't you most likely tip at least 18% anyway?

By knowing in advance, you are more likely to avoid tipping 36%

The auto gratuity will be printed on the receipt.

That's true. But sometimes one is distracted and misses it, while forgetting that it's automatic. Wrangling kids, an active meal, or trying to get somewhere else on time can contribute to the distraction. Sometimes it helps in remembering when it's at the forefront of your mind, at least it does for me!

this - especially given that 18% of $0 is $0. So it doesn't really add anything to the bill.

our 4 month old granddaughter made 6 at a couple of ressies and had auto tip of 18%

Thanks for all the replies. I was thinking she would be counted even though she won't be eating. We'll be splitting our reservations into 2 parties so that we can tip based on service. Thanks!

Just know that if you are 2 separate parties even if you have the exact same reservation time you might not be able to sit together or at nearby tables. Disney will try to accommodate you but if it isn't one reservation you could be seated far from one another (or in different rooms) at larger restaurants.

It is likely that they will not sit you together b/c you are different parties...and if they do put you together b/c you ask to combine at the restaurant, they will put on the auto-tip. If you don't want to pay the auto-tip, you should probably avoid restaurants where you would feel uncomfortable paying that tip.

We are 2 families who do not need to sit together, nor will we ask to be seated together. We'll seat as 3 and 3 which is perfectly acceptable. No reason to avoid any restaurant at all.
