Tipping In Kids Clubs and BBB

[LisaInNc]

Am I expected to tip at the Bibbity Boppity Boutique?

What about the Kids Clubs

If so how much?

I'm curious to know as well...as I'm sure we will be doing both of those activities.

That topic came up before we went to the BBB & everyone said you are not to tip there. I didn't tip & to be honest I didn't see anyone else tipping either. Not sure about the Kids' clubc.

you should absolutely tip at the BBB. i cant imagine going to a hairdresser and not tipping

the kids clubs, no i wouldnt tip there. you are paying a service fee to take care of your children, basically that is a tip. plus more than one person cares for your child, so you wouldnt know who to tip.

ETA i would think 15-20% would be your average tip for a hairdresser. i always tip 20-25% but its up to the patron to decide how they liked the service.

I didn't tip at the kids club (used Simba's Cubhouse once) as I didn't think it was a tipped position.

I thought BBB was a salon type place, so never having been there I would have thought you did. I don't know - DD is a tomboy and would kill me if I tried to take her there!

It get conflicting information. I always tip at salons. BBB is a salon but they are also Disney CMs and you are not supposed to tip them. When I pay with a credit card there isn't a line at the botton to add in the tip like with other salons so I figured no but I read somewhere on there that someone tipped their Fairy Godmother.

The at Simbas Clubhouse a few years ago there was a tip jar! I was shocked because I just had my Key To The World Card and not a dime on me.

My DD is going to the Netherland Club so I can say goodbye to the Adventurers Club and she is THRILLED but I want to make sure I am properly tipping if I should be and I am budgeting for my restaurants tips which will be significant.

Can't help on the kids clubs but I know that when we went to BBB last year and tried to leave a tip the fairy godmother in training told us that they are not allowed to accept them

.

They are NOT hairdressers. They are Disney employees who decorate your hair. If I remember correctly, there is not hair salon permit which is why you need to bring your own hairbrushes/combs & they do not cut hair.

I was told not to tip - I didn't tip them & I saw no other people there who tipped. They are CM & are not suppose to take tips.

We went to the BBB in January. We did tip our FGMiT.

We tipped the one who did DD's hair $20, the nail person $20 and we tipped her personal shopper $10.

We got the package that included the dress and hair and make-up. It was just a wonderful time for her.

We have never used the kid club.

You had 3 people to do the BBB? Each of my girls only got one person who did the hair, nails & make-up. We didn't get the dresses but when we went I saw the FGIT taking the girls themselves out to pick out dresses. Did you go to the one in DTD or MK? just curious.

honestly- you tipped more than my one dd's entire package was!

do you prefer the term stylist? either way i feel they should be tipped...if you dont then dont tip them. every person i have ever spoken to that had their childs hair done there has tipped them.

Don't know about BBB, but I remember when my husband and I were in Germany (Epcot) he so wanted to tip the bartender because he was so helpful and spoke with my husband for a little bit in German (my husband knows just a little German - 'cuz he goes to the real Germany for work). Anyway! My husband really wanted to give him a tip, but he couldn't accept. I would think that the ladies, stylists, or CMs, whatever you call them - should not be able to accept a tip, just like he couldn't. They're all working for Disney, right?

We visited the BBB the first week of August and we did tip our FGIT. I think it is fairly common practice as the FGIT did not appear surprised. We did not use a kid club as our youngest was not old enough to attend. We did use a baby sitting service and tipped the caregiver as I'm sure the company who contracts her takes a large portion of the money charged per hour.

thats strange, weve always tipped our bartenders and servers and they are all considered CMs. its possible that he was on a higher pay scale than a normal bartender

Wow - now I am confused!

We were told not to tip our FGiT during our last trip in January 07. However, I think that they DO accept and appreciate tips now. I need to make sure we have enough cash, as we generally just charge everything to our room.

Yes, we love the pettis. I want one for me too!

In Feb 2008, I asked staff at cash register if the tip was included in the price (like DDP used to include tip). They said no. I asked if I could charge tip on credit card--they said they can only take cash tips. We tipped about 15% on the $50 package--I think "coach"?
