Tipping Question

[txamu01]

I hope this hasn't already been asked a million times, although I'm sure it has!

We are going to Disney with a group of 12 people (three families), and we all have the Disney Dining Plan. I made the reservations for everyone. Obviously we will be charged the 18% gratuity, which I am fine with. My questions is, is the 18% gratuity split between all the families? How does that work?

Thanks!

Not sure I understand what you're asking, but no matter how many checks you receive, each one will include 18% gratuity based on the total of that check.

So, if your total bill is $300 & you all happened to order the same exact thing, you would either receive one check for $300 + $54, or three separate checks, each one for $100 + $18.

I hope that makes sense.

Thank you! That is exactly what I was asking, but I just worded it very poorly!

Does not matter how you are paying just simply tell the server we have 3 separate families -- sit each family together as best you can -- and tell them who is with who.... however on the DP you need to tell the server as the credits each family is using are attached the that families magic bands.

From past experience going with a group of 11 all having the dining plan and being in 5 rooms they split the 18% according to room and the amount each room had to pay was reflected on the bill/receipt that each room received.
