1st. TS, does 100% of the tip go to the server or is it shared?
2nd. Tipping CM's (outside of restaurants) for going above and beyond, is it done, ok, or not appropriate?
Thanks!
1) depends on the restaurant. If it has support staff (bartender, server asst etc) then yes, it's shared
2) depends on the type of job. A thank you and a mention to their supervisor is appropriate. Unless it's a tipped position, CM's are not allowed to accept money

No. They are paid at least or more than minimum wage.What about housekeeping? Are they a tipped position?
Your magic band us linked to your credit card... So if your on the dining plan, your credits for your meal are used and any tip you add is charged to your cc.If you are paying for a restaurant meal with your magic band, how do you include the tip? Or do you need to tip with cash? Wouldn't the magic band just automatically pay the amount on the bill?
Does Disney have a published tiping policy? As a newbie it seems to be such a huge deal, and makes me want to go back to waiting tables for the first time since graduating college.
Meaning is there anywhere that says 18 or 20% gratuity is an actual charge. I am planning our first trip and I waitressed for many years from small cafe to fine dining in Chicago. For parties of a certain number and when printed on the menu in the state of IL we could add the gratuity to the bill but it was always optional and the customer always had the right to pay what was added, pay less or pay more, as it was only a suggestion. Having waitressed I am a great tipper unless the server is really rude or is inappropriate. I am asking if I have the freedom to change the amount when I pay or if it a charged amount. I keep reading you have to have a managers approval to lower it. Why can I not just tell the person taking my money? I am expecting great service but as an American I just do not like being told what to do We are going to be a party of 8, so there will be a lot of tips that need to be given. Also I live out of the US and have for many years, tipping is not part of the culture here at all and service lacks because of it, I am a fan of tipping for great service. Some places that cater to tourists are starting to ask for tips by putting out jars with the word for tips on it or adding it to the menus or even right on the check and one place I went to, but they are still not "serving" you, just want more $ because of where you were born. I want to enjoy tipping because we enjoyed our meal and our experience, not because it is required to cancel out the bill. That's all
Florida law is different than Illinois...Meaning is there anywhere that says 18 or 20% gratuity is an actual charge.
