Mr Andy attempts 10% tipping offsite again……March 2025

Good day everyone.

I thought I would do another food report as the last one people seemed to enjoy and we all know tipping is a popular subject 😂 This trip is just me and my mum and we are trying to do it on a semi budget of sorts! We’ve got 9 nights in a Holiday Inn Lake Buena Vista. No parks booked as we just can’t be ≈≈≈≈≈ and want to relax 😀

So me and my mum flew into Orlando yesterday on the Delta flight from Heathrow……it was a good flight, and only half full so me and my mum had 2 rows to ourselves each ❤️ It was the later flight in, and by the time we got to the room it was 11:30pm so we had showers and straight to bed……we were planning on grabbing some fast food but we were so tired and not even hungry to be honest.

Woke up early this morning, still quite tired but we’ve gone to Publix for snacks and a pub sub for lunch around the pool later ($8.99) - enough for 2. The weather is currently lovely and sunny and we plan on sunbathing all day and relaxing. The only food item I have got so far is a Dunkin Iced Dunkalatte and a Boston Creme Donut which came to just under $8 (both delicious) and required no tip.

The restaurants we plan on visiting:
- Longhorn Steakhouse
- Chicken Guy
- Bonefish Grill (won an Insta competition for $100)
- Carrabas (same as above)


No other restaurants confirmed but will go with the flow and any suggestions welcome. 🤗

Current view ☺️☺️



Like before, 10% will be my go to tip but I am happy to adjust if service is better than I expect (or worse 😳 )

Hope you all enjoy!

I like these 10% tip reports I remember your last one when you encountered no issues at all.

No, no issues whatsoever the last time I did this.

I also never tip at QS places like Blaze, Starbucks etc and never had an issue.

Have a brilliant trip 👍

Couldn't resist a Guinness yesterday at Raglan Road.

Good though

We're off Bahama Breeze, I'll try 10% and report back 👍

You made me laugh the last time, you posted something like ‘ didn’t want any breakfast so had a couple of beers for lunch!’
Will be following along!

$17.50 😳😳😳 that’s insane. Even with the exchange that’s £14!

We plan on going to Disney Springs tomorrow or Thursday but will be looking out for the Happy Hours!
