"Forgetting" the tip on DDP

[Mikey Piano 23]

I dont know about you but I dont ever feel pressured to leave a tip. If I get good service then I usually leave a very generous tip...however if I do not get good service I certainly do not feel pressured to do so. Actually at Le Cellier I didnt feel like received really great service so I think I only left her a couple bucks. Being from NYC we get our share of good and bad service...being at Disney good service is expected if not required.

I'm pretty sure we are done with the DDP. Since the plans inception we are finding that it's not worth the time you spend trying to get food, in restaurants you can't reservations for anyhow. So you struggle to try and get TS reservations to burn credits and if you can, they are at inconvenient times. On our last trip in December, the meal times were ranging between 1.5 to 3 hours to get served a TS. The 1.5 was the exception Most were in the 2-3 hour range for 6 people and two kids. That's time your not spending doing other things. Since most people can eat in less than a half-hour, that's a lot of time waisted. Plus in order to get the value out of the plan, you feel like you day is planned around where you could get reservations that day.

Also, my brother and I have both noticed a decline in food quality in the past 7 years. We've been going regularly since 2000 and we both have felt like the quality of the food has changed considerabily in that time. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying it's not the premier dining experiences we can remember from our early trips..

You got that right! There has been a huge difference in the quality and selection available at table service locations. What bugs me the most if that the menu is the same if you are paying cash or credits, so we all lose because of the dining plan.

The whole point of a tip is to reward a job well done in my opinion. I think people should tip according to what they are comfortable with and not feel locked into a certain percentage. Ask me about leaving a tip and that percentage drops. Bad service get a big goose egg from me! 0%

I also agree with this point. The food has definitely gone down the past few years. It is a shame. While the food was not awful in most places it just was not the same. My DH was not happy with the way the food has declined while the cost has gone up.
