If ME driver handles luggage on return to MCO do I tip them?

[jjjbennett]

I'm flying airtran so it is my understanding that on my return flight I must take my luggage to the ME bus. There will be at least 6 bags as we are a family of six. I'm assuming the driver will put under the bus and unload onto the sidewalk when he drops us at the airport. I would assume that I should tip or is that not customary with the ME driver. If a tip is proper what should the tip be?

If the ME driver touches your bags or carry-on luggage he should be tipped. I usually tip $1 per bag that goes under the bus.

A tip is absolutely appropriate.

In fact, on your way from MCO to your resort, of course you won't have your checked luggage, but if you have carry-ons that must go under the bus instead of on the bus with you, you should tip the driver then as well.

The only DME-related tip that Disney provides for you is the automatic delivery of your checked bags into your resort room. Anyone else who touches your bags should, customarily, be tipped for that service.

My rule is you touch my bag in my sight-line then you get paid.
It makes it real simple that way .
