PassPorter Community Tip: A "Brit" Different Guidebook
PassPorter's Walt Disney World for British Holidaymakers is a "brit" different view of Walt Disney World for our UK friends by author/columnist Cheryl Pendry! This comprehensive, 260-page e-book covering every aspect of visiting Walt Disney World from the United Kingdom. It takes you through your entire visit, from the planning stages to working out the best way to get there and get around, with details about arriving in America, passports and immigration, duty-free allowances, driving in the States, and staying in touch while you're away!

Club Passholders get it now in the Reading Room. The e-book is also now on sale to the general public in the PassPorter Store.

Tipping checklist

1. Curbside check in people at the airport ($2 per bag)
2. DME driver?
3. Mousekeepers ($1 per day per person)
4. Bell services at the hotel when we check in our luggage the last day when we check out. ($1 per bag)
5. DME driver for return trip to the airport

Am I missing anybody besides wait staff at the table service restaurants? I put a question mark by the DME drivers because I know there is some debate about tipping them. For those of you who do tip, what is standard? Thanks!

Re: Tipping checklist

I wouldn' tip the DME driver unless he / she is the one who unloads your bags. The rest is fine

Re: Tipping checklist

I would tip anyone who went out of there way to help me. Even if thay did not, if I felt that they did I would tip.

When we were at the Coral Reef, are table was in the middle row...it stunk. I asked the waiter if he could move us to a better table, and he did. His reward 20.00

Re: Tipping checklist

DME driver YES gets a tip, NOT if he/she is a real grouch, but i have only found disney drivers to be grouchy, not DME drivers. $1 per person or bag, a little extra if they are extra good.

Re: Tipping checklist

Looks good! I would only tip the DME driver if they also handle your bags, if not than they're just a regular bus driver. Since they're also driving a bunch of other people you wouldn't need to tip, but it's up to you.
