Do you leave a tip at Be Our Guest?

Unlike Table-Service dining, breakfast at Be Our Guest Restaurant is paid for before you receive your meal, leaving the option to pay for gratuity as cash on the table after the meal.



The tipping etiquette at Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom depends entirely on which meal you are attending. In 2026, the restaurant operates as a Table Service location for both lunch and dinner, meaning a standard gratuity is expected. Because these are sit-down meals with dedicated servers who bring your drinks, appetizers, and multi-course French-inspired fare, you should tip between 18% and 20% of the total bill, similar to other fine dining spots like Le Cellier or California Grill. If you are an Annual Passholder or a Disney Vacation Club member, remember that your discount applies to the food, but the tip should still be calculated based on the original pre-discount price. It is worth noting that many years ago, lunch was a "Quick Service" experience where tips were not required, but since the shift to a prix-fixe model for all sittings, the service staff relies on tips as part of their compensation. You can leave the tip in cash or charge it to your MagicBand+ or credit card at the end of the meal.
