Do buffet prices include tax and drinks?

[marciemi]

Just trying to figure out how much money we'll need. Do the listed buffet prices include a regular drink (non-alcoholic) and is tax included? If not, how much should I calculate for the tax rate? Thanks!

Drink is included.
Tax and tip not included.
Not sure about the tax rate.

I think tax is 6 1/2%.

It depends where you get the info from. If you call Disney, they give you the price with tax included. As mentioned above, tax is 6.5%.

If you get prices from Internet, they are all usually incorrect.

I just started a thread with 2011 Peak Season character meal prices, for most buffets. To figure out non-peak, just take tax off of price, and subtract the buffet surcharge of $4.00/adult and $2.00/child. Maybe this will help you out?

Isn't that the truth?! I have about 10 different apps on my iphone with prices, plus this site, plus TGM, plus AllEars, plus the official site and I think they all have different prices!

I did read the thread you had posted, but the two buffets we're doing are 'Ohana dinner and Boma dinner and I didn't see prices for those. And as I said, I am seeing a huge variance between sites as well. But was just trying to approximate with the average price how much the total would be to budget for tips (which we'd prefer to pay with cash - on the DP for the rest).

Thanks everyone!

I apologize for not getting 'Ohana or Boma, as we don't like either. It took awhile to get all of the ones that I got, so it was a long phone call as is.

Maybe someone else will post those prices. Based on my research though, they should be close to $40.00, or over for peak season.
