$200 gift card - paying off tips

So after months of picking up handy tips on this forum I notice that a lot of people use the $200 gift card to pay off tips from their table service meals towards the end of their visit.

Can I ask what is the latest day during your visit that you can postpone paying the final bill from an onsite Disney resort?

I'm not planning to visit Disney springs to pick up the gift card until the second to last day of my trip but am unsure if my resort will demand full payment of any outstanding balances before then?

I hope this makes sense!

The credit card on file won't be charged until the night before you check out, so you just need to do it before then

What happens if you have your last adr on the evening of check out day, should we just tip in cash for that last meal or would they just charge your card a second time?

Plan to use our $200 gift card to cover other adr tips

If you go via reception on the way back to your room after the meal you should have time to pay off the charges before they charge your cc. I think we'll probably just pay the last dinner tip in cash though.

We will have checked out of SSR & checked into a villa but going to AKL for dinner at Boma, cash tip here is probably easier

Using the Gift Card

Hi

Hopefully a related question:

if you collect your gift card from Disney springs at the start of our trip will the restaurants accept payment from the gift card each time for a tip or do you have to charge the tip to your room and then use the gift card at the hotel only to pay it off?

Thank you

I was told they charge the card at about 2am so we went and paid ours at 1am on the last evening on our way in from MK as we wanted to use cash & Tc. The final day we just paid cash for everything.

From memory it will bill you the day before checkout. We got a slip through the door giving us a breakdown of spends, but you can obviously go to the reception and request / pay this off anytime.

I used my magic band for charging most items to the room, this saved carrying cash around. Found this very easy.

Sometimes not even then. We had a small balance left to pay at OKW and they left a message on the room phone asking us to pay it. I wouldn't risk it though and would pay it the day before check out as Vickie says.
