UPDATE on How the NEW Florida Tipping Bill Will Impact Disney World

Big news for Florida!

Time to dig in!

A new bill signed by Governor Ron DeSantis would require restaurants to clearly list automatic tips on menus, websites, and bills in 2026.

One part of the bill that affects automatic tips will take effect on July 1st, 2026. Automatic gratuity needs to be clearly listed on menus, written contracts, website, and mobile apps, which includes the amount of percentage of the operations charge and the purpose of the operations charge.”

Restaurants won’t be able to add extra fees and automatic gratuity to the check without fully warning guests beforehand. The receipt would also need separate lines for gratuity, operations charges, and sales tax. This is to make sure the customer knows what they are being charged and why.

How would this affect your Disney World trip? Automatic gratuity will need to be listed clearly on checks at restaurants throughout the state.

It should also be noted that this does not include dining plans, dining packages, or a fixed-price meal since “the price of the plan or package or meal is disclosed to the customer before purchase.”
