Laughing Place says included:
Gratuities (Tips)
Starting with the 2008 dining plan, gratuities are not included. For parties of 6 or more an 18% gratuity will be automatically added. A gratuity may also be added for ordered items that are not a part of the dining plan (eg: alcoholic beverages).
Gratuities are included at the following:
* Cinderella's Royal Table
* Dinner Shows (The Hoop-Dee-Do Musical Revue, Mickey's Backyard BBQ and Disney's Spirit of Aloha Show)
* Private In-room dining and Pizza Delivery
Gratuity is included.
I had made and paid for our ADRs and was given the total amount. After I go off the phone the amount seemed high for me. So I called and asked about it, confirming the price of the meal and tax and was told the other amount was because of the gratuity.
Just to clarify...my understanding is that it is included if using the DDP (no additional OOP costs in addition to the 2 TS credits). If prepaying OOP with a CC the 18% gratuity is included in the amount charged but is in addition to the posted menu prices...it is not included in the menu price.
has anyone that has eaten there left an additional tip? we are eating there in Dec and I am curious as to how many of you may have left extra for the server...last year when we were on the DP and tip was included, we still left money on the table for our servers
