We visited WDW in May 2007 and had a WONDERFUL time. We did have the Dining Plan at the time (it has since changed!)
We are thinking of another trip but we just read how gratuities are NO LONGER included in the Dining Plan. How did most of you figure the tip then or was it on the bill and you were EXPECTED to pay it?
I'm a little perturbed at the changes Disney is incorporating. I'm not so sure it's even worth going anymore. We had a wonderful memory but even then (in 2007) on the
Disney Dining Plan we were restricted as to how we could use it - especially at EPCOT (around the world places). We wanted to use our snack credits there and couldn't. Everyone (except one place) said we had to use cash or TS credits for stuff. We were not happy with this. Especially when we were looking forward to trying little stuff from the worlds.
How have you all managed with the Dining Plan now? It seems like now it would make more sense to get the CS Dining Plan and forgo the TS plan altogether? I'm not cheap but I'm not spending tons of $$ on tips when I'm already paying a HUGE markup on food and drinks as it is!
