What is the standard tip (what percentage) when you are on the dining plan? On our 2008 trip I had figured out tips for each place and had an envelope ready pre-trip with each tip in cash ready.  I want to do this again... Need the percentage before I can get it in the budget.

TY

We had the dining plan this past August. There were 5 of us, and the bill was usually around 150.00, so we gave a 30.00 tip.

I know that we were told Disney would add 18% since we are a grand gathering.

I always tip 20% unless service is really terrible (which I have never had happen in Disney World.)  If you are staying on property you can have the tip charged to your room on your KTTW card rather than carrying cash the whole time.

Parties of 6 or more are automatically charges 18%

Adventures in Wonderland guests (previously Disney Dining Experiance) are charged 18%

Previous included tip was 18%

so the Disney standard is 18%.
