Upcoming Trip

[Nfatuated]

Been following along for 7 months and our trip is finally upon us. Wanted to wait to ask these specific questions until some of the changes to DDP 2016 to 2017 transition had settled in.

-What drinks are included at TS? For instance we don't drink soda, but love coffee. Could I get a latte or cappuccino or is drip my only option?
- Can kids still order from adult at CS restaurants?
-At CS can we switch the drink out for a different item? Like I said, not soda drinkers.
-At TS can you switch Dessert for an App?
-Is it really customary to tip 18% for buffets at Disneyworld? I always thought I was generous tipping $5 per person, but maybe I have been shorting them .

TIA for your replies!

1) In general, yes. pretty much anything non-alcoholic that doesn't come in a souvenir cup. Best off asking each time, though
2) CS credits do not indicate adult or child, they are all pooled, and you can use as many credits at a time as you like
3) Yes, anything with the DDP snack logo at the same location (edit: BoG is a notorious exception, as drinks are self-serve, so there's no policing that you don't swap out and still pour a drink)
4) Virtually never. Doesn't hurt to ask, though.
5) Please refer to the official tipping discussion thread

Drinks at TS: Pop, milk, water, general basic stuff. Some places will allow specialty coffee, some will not. You will have to ask.

CS: Kids can order anything at CS.

Swaps: At CS, you can usually swap a drink, but it is venue discretion. BOG is notorious for not always allowing.

TS: No, you cannot swap dessert for an App. At TS where it is supported, they will give you a fruit cup, salad or cup of soup. This is not universal. It will not be a menu app.

Tip: Yes, 18% for buffets. Or any other TS. $5pp is hosing your server.
