Tips on Tipping??

[joshsmom]

So I have LESS THAN 24 HOURS before I leave and now all the last minute things are crashing in my head! I know there's lots of debates about tipping--I DO NOT want this to be a debate (please, pretty please??). We tip Mousekeeping--always have, always will. BUT, what about the driver for Magical Express? We always tipped the Mears guy so why wouldn't we tip the ME guy (or girl?). Also, we always tipped the guy that brought the bags to our room--but we may not necessarily know who that is with the new system. Any hints here?

IMO tip them. If you have tipped someone in the past for the same service, I would tip now. I have used taxi service at WDW with a voucher and they tell you the tip is included but I tipped anyway. To me it's a small amount and these people are working to make a living. As I said, just my opinion. Nothing else to go on since I haven't used the new service.

I agree. If you tipped before, tip now. It's only a couple of dollars to you, and they are trying to make a living. I usually tip $1 per bag for whoever delivers to the room, if I am there and see a person. I would also tip the driver of Magical Express.

I would also tip the driver of Magical Express.

What's fair for ME driver? Same as a Taxi Cab? I get so confused about this stuff but I know that tips are appreciated and sometimes it's what helps them make ends meet. How much for the ME driver? There's 3 of us in our party (and three people going with us--but they're responsible for their own tip). We have 6 bags total.

I don't believe the ME drivers are actually handling bags, I would say $5 for the three of you is plenty, or even $1 each. How many do the buses hold?

If he got $1/passenger X 40 people X 4 trips/day - HEY get outta my way, I'm movin' to FL to drive a ME bus!!!!!
