[sheila14]

Well it's OFFICIAL - we're going to Disney! Woot!!! Our dates will be Thursday, Oct 26th - Wednesday, Nov 1st DH, DS and I will be staying at the Wilderness Lodge Villas - first time staying there and looking so forward to going! We'll be attending two MNSSHP and hopefully Club Villain.Costumes include: DC Comics Two Face DH, Joker DS and Harley Quinn DM and for the second party Alice in Wonderland Red Queen Guards DH & DS and Red Queen DM.

I'll have to dust of my trusty sewing machine and complete a few of these costumes - Oh! I'm so thrilled!!!

Ok where is everyone getting these interactive emojis and I will be going as spider woman. I am making a spider hat, will have a soedercweb pattern made for my tshirt and I bought orange, black, and glow in the dark spiders to put in my hair that I am going to turn into a spiders nest. Oh and I also bought glow in he dark webbing to put on me.

Does Disney still charge different taxes on their resorts? I remember reading something about that. Anyone?

All-Stars have a 7.5% tax versus 6.5% now eff 1/1/17 due to a tax increase in Osceola County. The rest should be, to my knowledge, 6.5% because they are in Orange County. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I hope this is what you were refering to!

For my particular stay (see signature) it added $4.98 to the complete total due to the tax increase versus what it was prior to the tax increase.

What do you mean? I believe one of Disney's resorts - I can't remember which one - is in a different county and/or taxing jurisdiction, so has slightly different tax rates than every other resort. I could be wrong about this but pretty sure I've read about that in the past. Is that what you mean?

 

[FoxC63]

I read that at WDW the tax rate for like POP is different than all other resorts. Instead of being charged 12.5% tax for your room you get charged like 9.7% - this is just an example. It was very late when I skimmed through the article and I'm not sure what site I read it on. I was just wondering. We normally stay at WL this year we'll be at WLV.

I just googled "what is wdw tax rate?" and this is what I saw:

However the All Star resorts are in Osceola County, which has a 7% tax rate. So, in general, the WDW sales tax rate (including restaurants) is 6.5%, but if you happen to be at the All Star resorts, you'll get the "pleasure" of contributing just a tiny bit more to Osceola County! ;-)Jun 5, 2008

Here's a newer link http://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories/new-tax-rate-in-2017-for-disneys-all-star-resorts/

"The tax rates at Disney’s All-Star Resorts will be raised to 7.5% beginning January 1, 2017. "

I was on the Disney site and it shows MNSSHP for select nights in September and October, I may have a temper tantrum but I suppose it is still subject to change(holding onto hope with fingernails)

Regarding the tax rate here's what mousesavers has to say about it"
"PLEASE NOTE: The 2017 rates we have listed DO include tax. At most of the Walt Disney World resort hotels the tax is 12.5%, but at the All-Stars the tax is 13.5%. (The tax rate for the All-Stars changes on January 1, 2017;"

I never knew there was a difference.

Where on the site? This is big news!

 

[FoxC63]

Oh on their Special Event Tickets page -
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tickets/events/

Yeah, honestly I wouldn't read too much into that. Things at WDW always change even two weeks before your departure day. Fact: They actually added a few more EMH at the parks in 2016 and that really had people scrambling to change their dining reservations. ANYTHING can happen.

They added extra morning hours, so guests who planned on being first on rides found themselves in line with the mass.

Throw Back Sunday!
Did anyone else happen to notice that the October 2006 calendar lines up with October 2017?
MNSSHP October 2006: 2, 5, 6, 10, 12, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 24, 26, 27, 30, 31 There were 15 scheduled events.

I hope this is the schedule for this year, we will be there Oct 26-Nov 1 and the Touring Plans site has the potential party schedule as Oct. 26, 27, 29, 30 and 31. All but Saturday night has a possible party, and Saturday night is the night we have tickets to the Swan & Dolphin food and Wine classic. If Touring Plans is correct, its annoying that they are scheduling so many parties.

Well, the Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Tuesday would be normal, wonder why they are adding the Monday though....
