As part of the Dining Experience announcement today, Disney also confirmed that Walt Disney World® Resort will be implementing an across property policy change regarding gratuity at all food and beverage locations. Effective January 1, 2008, 18% gratuity will be added to all transactions, regardless of party size.
It appears that this currently only applies to table service locations.
