Will 18 % be Automatic in 2008 for DDP

[WDisnut]

Last year when I went to WDW Any time I ordered a extra side or ALki drink that was not included in the DDP I recieved a bill with 18% already added on. So Does anyone know if this type of bill will appear when the DDP doesn't include tip. I hope not....

With DDP, an 18% service charge will be automatically added to your check if a) you have six or more people in your party (regardless of how they are paying for their meal) and b) any time you order non-DDP items like adult beverages, appetizers, etc. These are not optional.

If you have fewer than six in your party, and don't order anything outside of DDP, nothing will be added to your check but you are still responsible for whatever tip you decide to leave. The gratuity is no longer included in the price of DDP after 1/1/2008.

What about the Hoop De Doo and the Luau?? When not on the DDP, the tip is already included in the price. So, if you use the 2TS on DDP, do you still have to leave a tip? Will they automatically charge you 18% tip or leave what you want? Hope you or anyone else can help answer this.
