question about tips..

[mama36]

I am trying to make a list of which service providers I need to have tips ready for on our disney trip (mousekeeping, DME driver, food servers). What about the monorail drivers/ferry drivers? Is one supposed to tip them on each trip to and from or only if you get to ride up front with the driver (on the monorail)? Also, what about CM's in and around the parks - are there any that will be expecting a tip? I just want to make sure I don't leave anyone out! Thanks!!

Wow! Now you've got me worried. We generally tip mousekeeping $2 per day. Bell services get $5 each time we use them. We have never tipped a CM - I really don't think it is allowed. We've rode up front several times with the monorail drivers and never even considered tipping them. Now I'm wondering if we should have? Magical Express drivers usually get a couple of dollars (my dh always loads the bags himself). Hope this helps.

Now that I think back most times the monorail drivers have been pretty surly so I don't think I would have tipped them

I have never tipped the monorail driver, but we manage to sit up front at least once on our trip. I have never even thought of it. If anyone else has thoughts on this i would love to hear.
