Do you leave a tip at Disney restaurants?

The cost of gratuities is not included in the Disney Dining Plan. Although you are not paying cash for your meal, you should tip your server as if you were. When you are presented with your bill, there will be an indication of what the cost would have been had you been paying out of pocket.
