Guidelines for Tipping at Disney
People in the service industry can be among the hardest working people you will ever meet. Most of them are paid a paltry hourly wage, and they depend on tips to make a living. There are standard guidelines for tipping.- In restaurants, tip based on the service, not the food. You are not tipping the chef, you are tipping the waiter/waitress.
- For good service, you should leave 15% of the total bill. If you are using a coupon or other discount, the tip should be based on the full bill, not the discounted amount.
- If the service was outstanding, 20% is a great way to show it. Alternately, if the service was below par 10% or lower sends the same message.
- Bellman should normally be tipped $3 per bag when delivering bags to your room. It is customary to tip both upon arrival and departure.
