Tipping ? Bellhop vs Valet?

[Rpsemont]

We just returned from a great trip to WDW where we stayed at the BWV and the Dolphin. At both of these resorts I got very confused at who you tip for the luggage - Particularly when you leave. The Bellhop comes up to your room and gets the bags and takes them to the sidewalk, them the valet loads them into the car. I had read you should tip about $2/bag, but I don't think I should have to do it twice? What does anyone else do? We would usually tip the valet $3-$5 whenever they would get the car, but I felt I should do more if they're loading luggage.

We tip the fella who carries the bags; a buck a bag is considered appropriate, and if we have (as we usually do) five or six bags, we'll just go ahead and give him $10.

We give the valet two dollars each time he brings the car around. If he also loads the bags, another dollar or two would be nice. But it's up to you.

We tip both $1-2 per bag.

Tip the Valet for the bags ($1 per bag is customary) and the Bellhop for delivering your car ($2 is customary, and if he helps with luggage we usually slip him a five).

When we arrive at BWV, I give the valet who takes the luggage out of the car $5 (5 bags). I give the bellman who delivers them to the room $5. When we are leaving, I give the bellman who takes the luggage to the car $5 and usually the valet will run up with the keys (looking for a tip), $2. If we valet during our stay, as long as they are prompt, I give the valets $2 each way. If I have to stand there long waiting for a valet to write up the slip when dropping it off, I don't tip. They are usually prompt when returning the car, I will call from the room before I leave.
