Tip money

Gelatoni · 17 Sep 17, 10:45 PM

Planning on taking tip money in cash. Everything else i'm paying on my card.

There are two of us (paying together anyway, 5 in total), there for 5 days. We have 5 table service meals (one signature at Jiko). Also want to cover incidentals like luggage tips etc if needed.

�200 enough for cash tips for both of us? Is that too much or perhaps not even enough?

$240ish in tips for 5 meals and luggage... for 2... I should think so.

Yes I would think so. We charged tips to our room over 12 days and I don't think it was much more than that.

I would say it was there or thereabouts. If you use bell services a few times and have a bar tab running each night then maybe $50 more.

Will stick to that then. I guess I can pay for additional non dining plan items as well as tip if we find we have too much cash

Admittedly this was in 2015, but we charged all our tips to our room and over 17 days (10 normal meals and 4 signatures) it was only just over $200 (for 2 people) so you should be fine. We budget/plan to spend $15 tip for a 1TS meal and $25-30 tip for a 2TS meal. Luggage is $1 per item usually.

How much alcohol will you drink? It's enough without but may not be anywhere near enough if you have a few drinks each per meal.

It's a bit of a pain but make sure the paperwork is all correct when paying extras and tips in cash. We did this on our last trip and it seemed to cause a lot of confusion - far more than I remember on the DDP in the past.

It also turned out that at one restaurant took the cash as a tip (so a very hefty tip!) and charged the extras to our room! Disney refunded it without question as soon as I complained.

Neither of us are big drinkers - maybe one or two cocktails and a few beers?
