When to tip? Disney dollars? ????

[BabySam99]

Sorry for all the questions...I have wanted to ask these for awhile and since I only have a couple weeks before we go...I thought I better ask.

First, Do we tip our servers at the end of the cruise directly or do we settle-up like you would a hotel bill and let DCL pay them?

Second, Can we put Disney dollars into our account on-board to pay for extras? I will have Disney dollars from birthdays, christmas, etc....can I use them this way?

Third, Does a child count when figuring tip amounts?

I hope these aren't too stupid...I just never ran across any of these answers yet on the boards.

Thanks!

#1 Yes, you tip your servers at the end of the cruise. You can do this two ways, first by placing cash in the envelopes provided by DCL, or by going to Guest Service any time during your cruise and charging you tips to your account. You will then receive vouchers to be put into the envelopes for your servers.

#2 Yes, you can put your DD toward your onboard account. You cannot use them to pay at the shops onboard because the ship is a "cashless" system. Everything gets charged to your KTTW card. So, say you put $400 in DD toward your account, you can "spend" up to that amount on your KTTW card. Anything over that you could settle with cash at the end or have it placed on your credit card.

#3 Yes, a child definitely counts toward figuring your tip totals. It is per person in your party, including children of all ages.

Hope this helps.
