Tipping at Disneyland Hotel
We just returned from the Disneyland hotel and was curious if I tipped right? I was not sure what is right to tip there vs. other hotels. I am sorry if this has been discussed before, I have never seen a thread about tipping, so I wanted to ask.
My questions are first with the valet. We pulled up after our 6 hour drive and just let the vallet take the car for 1 night, then we park in self parking the next morning. The guy who came to get our bags from our car said 3 times that he is not the same guy that will take our bags to our room. So that prompted us to tip him for removing some of our bags from our car and placing them on a cart, then taking our car to park it. Normally you don't tip the vallet when you drop off the car, just when you pick up your car. So we tipped him, then the bellman who brought our luggage to our room, then again another vallet when we picked our car up to go to self parking the next morning.
Also does anyone tip the room service waiter above the 18% (I think that's the percentage) in gratuitity they automatically add on. I added 10% on, but was not sure if I should have.
And also the maid service. On the Disney Cruise we tipped the standard rate, but I figured that was because cruises set a standard to follow. For 3 nights at Disneyland Hotel I left $15 for the maid. Was that enough?
I feel tipped out, but did a lot of this tipping because I was not sure what is customary at the Disneyland Hotel. I was not sure what they relyed on, or expected. Or if there is any other people I should have tipped that I did not. Everyone did a good job, don't get me wrong. We have stayed here before and at Paradise Pier, but never ordered room service or used the vallet either times. Thanks for any knowledge on this.
