The OP already deleted their account. Yes, another person pushed away for posting a question. What would I have helped them with? Education and awareness, not just opinions.

The original poster did not delete their account, just FYI.

I'm one who believes that tipping should be based on the service not the amount of money you spent on your food.
My standard is $5 PP and more if the service was above and beyond which generally even at WDW its not.
Only time I tip more than that is when I have 6 or more and the gratuity is automatic.
I realize that not all cultures tip and I assume that is the case for the OP.
I would recommend dropping some TS meals in order to reduce the amount you are tipping.
I mean 14 meals is entirely too many TS meals in my opinion anyways.
QS meals at WDW are often times close to the same quality that I get at a local diner or even chain in which I do leave a tip but the nice thing is no tip needed.

First time I have heard of standard PP tipping. I worked at restaurants and no one ever did that to me. I'm glad that is not the norm.

The original poster was already familiar with tipping and had prior experience. This is not a case of someone without knowledge looking to understand a foreign custom, it was someone looking for permission to stiff the staff as a way to cut costs on 14 table service meals.

im staying 4 days just for SWGE..i plan on 2 days of wAITING IN INSANELY LONG LINES

From what I've read, the long lines still move swiftly! Hoping you get to see and do everything you want!

Just FYI, according to a few posts on this forum, they are not planning on making the SWGE rides FP selections until the excitement wears down, so there is a solid chance that FP for those attractions will not be available when you get FP in October.

why has disney been so silent on FP or whatever for SWGE?
we heard of a possible virtual queue?

They haven't. They've said no fastpasses.

And the virtual queue was just to get into the land when it hits capacity

trip update?.... you are fun to chat with...

Haha! I had asked what show would be better to see at AK--Lion King or Nemo. Most voted for Lion King. And of course my kids want Nemo. Comments from them included: 'We don't like the music.' 'We'll go to Broadway for Lion King.' 'We saw the movie, it was meh.' So Nemo it is!
