Which Prepaid WDW Restaurants Include Gratuity?

[mjaclyn]

Hi Everyone!
My family and I are leaving for WDW next week (YAY!!) and we will be on the Standard Dining Plan. We have a few meals that are set prices but I'm not sure if those prices include gratuity or not. Does anyone know if I can find this information online or if I have to call Disney Dining? Here are the fixed price locations we will be visiting:

Hoop De Doo
O'Hana
Akershus Breakfast
Chef Mickey's Breakfast

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

O'Hana
Akershus Breakfast
Chef Mickey's Breakfast

i'm quite sure that gratuity is not included with the dining plan for these 3 places. i've eaten 2/3 and i added the gratuity to my room key and paid for it at the end of my trip.

only gratuity included is for room service which costs you 2 ts credits per person..... and of course QS location. The buffets i dont tip alot because essentially they dont do alot.


yes the tips can add up. few yrs back the plan included tips..

Yes I checked Allears.net.

I think the only two are HDDR and the Spirit of Aloha.

pretty sure this correct since they are dinner SHOWS which i think are prepaid in advance because of the tier seating options.

Any of the 4 ACTUAL prepaid locations are.
Cinderella's Royal Table
Hoop De Doo Revue
Spirit of Aloha
Mickey's Backyard BBQ (I keep wanting to type Backward...)
I think some of the other special, non-DDP covered experiences may also include it. You'd have to look those up though as I am not sure. (Untamed Lunch, Dinner with Imagineer, etc)

The others listed are simply CC-guarantees and not prepaid locations. These do not include any sort of gratuity and it must be provided by the guest.

To find the info online, simply go to the Disney site, look under Where To Eat at the top, and select a category. You'll be able to filter a list of experiences that will link to the main page for that restaurant/experience. It should be somewhere within that information (for the 3 shows above, it was hiding on the "Seating Chart & Pricing" tab)

Does that mean the price stated for CRT include gratuity and we do not need to tip anymore? If so, that's great because we have a CRT bf and I had planned to pay OOP.

Looking at the Disney site for CRT- http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/cinderellas-royal-table/
If you click on each of the menus, scan down past the food offerings, at the very bottom they say "18% service charge is included in the price of the meal".

That's correct. The full price of CRT includes the gratuity and your pictures with Cinderella.

The Tipping Policy Sticky at the top of the main Restaurants page will have the information about which ones include gratuity. HTH
