Help! A Few Questions!

[pat9283]

Hi all, I havn't been on for a while (super busy with university) but now that the wedding is getting so close (when christmas is over its gonna go soooo fast) I'm starting to worry about a lot of little things. So I was wondering if anyone could help me and stop me making a fool of myself!

1. How much Do/Did you tip people, we're having Rev Day, Randy, A honeymoon photo shoot from the disney photographer, and our planner Karen. That we have to tip,I think, And I have no idea how much or how to tip them. (As u know Im from england an there are no specific rules here about tipping!)

2. Do you have to make reservations for the House of Blues and what is it like there? I think my mum would like it but am not sure what it's like.

3. How much is entrance into the water parks and pleasure Island? We got the annual passes but this is'nt included. It's only entrance to the 4 parks.

4. Is there anyone I have missed on my tipping list?

5. would a gift be better for karen than a tip?

I know this is an annoying set of questions and they are all small things but as I said I don't want to look a fool! Thanks in advance for any help you can give

Maybe I'm just stingy but I wouldn't tip any of the people you've mentioned. I don't think you have to tip anyone who owns their own business, ie Randy and the Reverand, as they get all the money you pay anyway. I've never heard of anyone tipping the Disney photographer although a lot of brides send a gift to their planner after the wedding. If you're having hair and makeup you would tip there and I think you tip the limo driver.

Not sure about HOB as I've never been there but I think you need adrs.

Water parks - not sure, again I've never been, we usually just laze at the resort pool. Pleasure Island doesn't have an entry fee now, I think you just pay to enter the individual clubs.

Hope that helps!

Thanx, I forgot about the limo driver, and the hair and beauty people, (how soft am I?) I still don't know how much to tip. I really don't wanna seem cheap! How am I going to tip the limo driver as he is paid through disney also. Do I just put some money in an envelope and pass it to him as we get out of the limo at the last location we use him for? Hmmm, Im confused.

Yes I would have DH give the limo driver about $20 as we leave the limo for the last time. Here's a thread you might find interesting.
