Disney Dining Experience Program Changes

[Jared]

We just returned fromWDW on Friday. We did notice that at all the TS restaurants we ate that 18% was added to our DDP receipt and to our out of pocket receipt (drinks). It took us 2 meals to realize that the tip was already added in when we received our OOP bill because there was a place to add an additional tip. We did not see this at CS. We were only a party of 3 not the larger parties they said they would add this to. Just thought I would let people know our experiences. Will add our trip report in the next few days.

This thread is discussing future changes for the Disney Dining Experience card, not the Disney Dining Plan. This year, the plan included an automatic 18 percent gratuity at all table service meals. In 2008, though, the Disney Dining Plan will no longer include the tip, while all table service meals paid for with the Disney Dining Experience card will include an 18 percent tip.
