Sleigh Ride

We have a reservation for the private sleigh ride, at Fort Wilderness, coming up very soon and I was wondering if it is customary to tip the carriage driver after your ride?

Yes.

About 15%, or so.

I never would have thought of this. Thanks to the OP for asking this question. We're doing this in just a few days.

I did the Sleigh ride last week. They have a sign in the sleigh very clearly stating that they DO NOT accept tips.

We went on a sleigh ride about a week ago. Our driver was wonderful and we gave her a tip and wished her Merry Christmas. She was very appreciative. I didn't see a sign that tips were not allowed and our driver accepted the tip we gave her.

According to this article by Jack, tipping is "not required, expected, or allowed."

Yup, that's exactly what was posted. I did not tip and did not feel bad about it as it was not allowed per the sign. Not sure why some CMs accept tips while some strongly refuse when offered as some have reported.

Knowing that now, I probably would try to tip if I were to do it again.
