We recently had to sell our DVC points. Our card does not expire til 12of 2021.
Was wondering if we could still purchase tables in wonderland for 175$ with that card for an upcoming trip?
So you were saving 20% with TIW but the tip negates 18%. So you are saving 2%. But somehow you spent more than not saving any or were you using other discounts and then paying 15% tip. My standard tip is 20+% and poor service gets 15%. So we save a bunch with TIW.The problem I have with TIW is the guaranteed 18% gratuity. So you really are not saving a whole heck of a lot. My standard tip has always been 15%, but if service is not up to par I will TIP less. Buffets are almost always tipped less than 15%. Tried TIW once that covered 2 trips, and when I totalled the amount spent on food compared to prior trips (or for that matter when I took trip after it expired) found I had spent considerably more with TIW. However with the current price increase on the DP, not sure what the next step is---my wife does not like cooking at home so cooking on vacation is not an option-LOL.
We are huge TIW people. Like you, we are 20%+ tippers. We also drink and use valet parking. We save a boatload.So you were saving 20% with TIW but the tip negates 18%. So you are saving 2%.

No one tips 15% anymore. I will only tip less than 18% if service was very bad. Which has only happened on rare occasions for me at WDW. Stuff happens and if a waiter does their best, they get at least 20%.The problem I have with TIW is the guaranteed 18% gratuity. So you really are not saving a whole heck of a lot.

If you don’t think a modest 18% tip before tax is warranted, you can ask for a manager to remove the tip.The problem I have with TIW is the guaranteed 18% gratuity.
