Made my ADRs This morning and I have a question. . .

[creativeamanda]

They are all dinners, and here they are:

Fri, 08/01--Spoodles (7:50)

Sat, 08/02--Coral Reef (4:00)

Sun, 08/03--Crystal Palace (5:10)

Mon, 08/04--Hollywood and Vine (Fantasmic!) (5:00)

Tues, 08/05--Le Cellier (4:10)

Wed, 08/06--1900 Park Fare (4:40)

As far as tip budget goes, would you say a budget of $200 for tips for these meals is enough? I looked through the menus, and based on what we eat, the lowest cost of the TS meals would be around $63 (Spoodles), while the highest would be 1900 Park Fare ($100). There are 5 of us, but since we have the kids with us, we will not be drinking (Well, maybe one drink at Le Cellier). TIA!

Even if every one of those cost $100 and you tipped 20% at each one you would only need $120, so I think you are fine with $200.

I made my ADRs this morning, too! We'll be at Coral Reef on 8/2 but not until 6:30 PM.

Its difficult to figure it out without the actual bill. For us when we're on vacation we tend to be more relaxed and order things we normally wouldn't. But if you know your family and watch what you order, it sounds like you should be fine.

I don't see the ages of your children and if their ordering off the childrens menus that will also keep the bill down.

Your not eating at any signiture restaurants. Thats were we're expecting the tip to be the most. Have a great time and I hope I helped to confirm your plans.

The kids are all under 8. I kind of picked the most expensive item, except for with Spoodles, where dh looked at the menu and said, "I'm only going to eat that there." It just so happened that that was the least expensive item.

Hope you have an awesome trip! Looks like we'll be at Epcot same day. Our kids generally eat early. The only reason why Spoodles is so late is because we want to see Mickey's Jammin Jungle Parade and needed some time to get to Spoodles. Everyone here seems to recommend it whent I ask, so I am hoping for good things!

I think we are going to Spoodles 8/12, but that one is more than 10 days out from our arrival so I have to call back to do Round 2 of the ADRs. It was between Flying Fish, Spoodles, and BlueZoo. We are already doing a lot of seafood, though.
