I try and avoid tip discussions however my last few wdw trips I have really noticed that in some of the restaurants within Disney Brits including myself have been treated differently then other nationalities in restaurants, at first I thought perhaps I was imagining it however on at least 4 occasions on my last visit it felt very evident.
We always leave our 20% tip it’s just what we are used to doing and factor it into our expenses for a wdw holiday. On our last holiday, my daughter was very excited to tell a server it was her dads birthday, the table next to us not from England also had a birthday, our server came out with a card for the next table drinks and food and we still had nothing (we arrived the same time and the meal was family style) at the end of the meal they got a birthday cupcake, we got nothing other then slow poor service, we left a tip (20%) we then left the restaurant the server then came out to us and called my daughter over, he then gave her a card, badge and cupcake to take away to give to her dad. Could just be a coincidence but I definitely felt like we were treated differently. When we left a tip at the Akushurs the server bless her told us it was to much and asked if we wanted her to keep it all and it was again the 20%. |

I cant say that I have particularly noticed we have had poor service due to being recognised as British, but, we have often noticed a mood change in the server dependant on what we have ordered.
There are only two of us and never order alcohol, I don't drink ever and OH wont drink due to driving. I am veggie to don't order high priced steaks, seafood etc. equally we are not big eaters and never order starters or deserts so we are not big earners for the server and that has been noticeable |

There’s a very interesting long thread on tipping from a couple of months ago. Good debate and information- long thread but worth a read particularly from page 5 onwards

Debating whether to do breakfast at calli grill,there will be 5 adults, 4 year old and 2 year old, what sort of tip will we be looking at, I will be treating everyone, I know some people say if you can’t afford the tip you shouldn’t do it. I just have to make the decision as our adr opens up next week, if we did it I was thinking about memorial Sunday to miss the crowds at mk fireworks. What would you do.

I have just looked at California Grill brunch (is that what you mean?) its $95 per adult and $56 for your 4yr old, 2 yr old free, but as you are a party over 6 you will have the automatic service charge added, if at 18% the 'tip/service charge' will be around $95 or at 20% $106 that's just for your meal - any drinks would be extra on top with extra tip/service charge added to that
I can't believe I am reading that right with those prices so happy to be corrected if I am wrong. That to me is a crazy amount and you would never get me paying that amount of tip - actually I would never pay $95 for a brunch but that's another thread. |

Thank you so much for your reply, I actually don’t think I could bring myself to tip £100 dollars, think I will do something else instead, think I just needed to see it in black and white. I haven’t got a problem tipping, but I think this is a bit over the top. I know from reading previous threads dibbers love it, and that’s why I thought of going.

The brunch is a really luxury meal though. I have seen YouTube videos of it, and it would be for a very special occasion.
If you just wanted a normal brunch somewhere in WDW, there are plenty of less expensive options.

It's a personal decesion. I would suggest it isn't really worth the two credits and that tip. Better options out there overall. You could have two meals somewhere else instead.
But if you want a mega treat then go for it We are on the deluxe plan next time and we are doing. I think tips will come in around £1000 lol eeekk Edited at 12:28 PM. |

We always tip 18 or 20% and have never had poor service. As for saying the Americans don’t tip as much, I have to say I do not find that to be true. My fil is married to an American woman and they live in Salt Lake City. When we visit them and also travel down to Vegas to visit mil family, they all tip minimum 15% and is server is really good 20%. So going by that I think most Americans DO tip well, unless poor service - server tipped a whole dessert over fil in one place this summer, they comped his meal, but he still left a tip.
