Tipping on Set Price Restaurants

[mamawanavacation]

We are a family of 7 doing the Deluxe Dining Plan. We'll have our tip automatically added on for 18% since we are a party of 7. How does this work at the buffet style restaurants? Thanks!

Is the tipping for a regular TS 18%? If it is, that's what it will be for buffet.

Yep 18%. Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to know.

Automatic 18% is added to the pre-tax total at all sit down and buffet restaurants when you eat with 6 or more people. (6 even includes infants and toddlers )

so if the food total is $100.00 the tip is $18 and the tax is $6.50 (I think it's 6.5% but I could be off a bit here.)
Total would be $124.50...the $106.50 is covered if you have the ddp, but you have to pay $18 cash or charge the $18 to your credit card or room key.

Hope that helps

So I don't need to pay tax on top of it? That's good to know, thank you!

Thank you, I've been wondering if we had to carry cash around the parks, or could charge the tip to the room.

If you put your credit (or debit) card on you KTTW card at checkin you can use your KTTW card to charge things back to the room, including the tip.

You might want to carry some cash for the stands in the parks that don't take KTTW cards or credit cards.
