I have looked at several postings and I an sure this question has been asked and answered somewhere but here it goes.
I visited Disney world in 1986 and was there 6 nights with the Gold Key package which included 3 meals a day and use of all recreational facilities available at the time. We stayed in what was called The Villias at that time and had an included golf cart that we drove to Downtown Disney and to a restruant that was near by. There was only the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and River Country. This was my first trip and mhave stopped counting but it is over 10 times. I still have the key card and was going to post a pic of it.
Any how enough of history on to my question.
I have had the DDP 2 other times before back in 2007 and 2008 and they both included gratuity. I seen on the DDP pamphlet a photo of a receipt that showed a charge for overages of your meal but nothing about the gratuity. I have read elsewhere something about a suggested tip listed somewhere on the ticket of 18% and 20% for you to choose or something like that. I am confused. Do I need to bring money to tip or is there a suggested tip listed on the ticket and you choose it and have it add to your overages and back billed to my room. I am traveling only my wife on my package and will be dining with a daughter and boyfriend on another package so all my reservations will be for 4 people so the auto gratuity does not apply. So we will have 2 checks and both on the standard DDP. Is the customary tip shown on the ticket or do you calculate your own tip and will it be charged back to the room or do I need cash.
I think it was simpler when it was all included but this can't be too complicated. Just looking forward to a happy trip.
