Silly Dining Question...

[momof1princess]

i know this is probably a stupid question, but i just got a debit card about a year ago, and i was wondering if, when we do TS at WDW, i could just ask the waitress to add her tip to our bill and use my debit card to pay the entire total? i hate leaving money on tables and it would make things SOOOO much easier for us. i would think it would be possible, since tips used to be added to the bill on the dining plan, but i thought i'd ask. TIA!

It is absolutely possible. We do it all the time.

You're welcome! Disney will happily help you part with your money by whatever means possible, and I don't blame 'em.

I'm not sure what your question is. When you are presented with the bill, you just give your debit card to the server. She will then process it and return for you to sign. At that time, you add the tip on the line at the bottom of the bill and the total amount will be what is subtracted from your account. You don't have to ask the server to do anything, you do it yourself.

There are usually two slips of paper - one to return to the server for the final bill and one for yourself. Just write the tip and total on that copy so you know what exactly will be deducted from your account.

We use our debit card all the time. It's accepted exactly like a credit card.

you can do it that way or have them charge the entire thing onto your room key whichever is easier ...Disney isn't picky when taking your money

That's not a stupid question!

If you're staying on property and wanted to, you could just use your room key card to pay for all your meals. Then when you check out, they can use your debit card they have on file to take care of it all. We didn't use cash for any of our tips. Hope that helps!
