I DO NOT LIVE IN U.S. .
WHAT IS THE PERCENT OF TAX TO BE PAID IN DISNEY. TO KNOW MORE OR LESS AS THE RISING PRICE OF MEALS
sORRY FOR MY ENGLISH

Meal tax is 6.5% in general.

Disney does span two counties though (I think Pop Century is in the other county), and there are different tax rates - I believe 11.5% and 12.5% on the room tax, but I'm not sure if the food tax is also a percent higher or not.

For meals, I would just plan 6.5% and that should pretty much cover it.

The basic Sales Tax rate in Florida is 6.0% and is on most goods and services. The counties have an option, by vote of their residents, to add a surtax of 0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0% or 1.5% to the state rate.

Orange County, which is most of WDW, has a surtax of 0.5% so purchases (including meals) are taxed at 6.5%.

Osceola County, which has the All-Stars Resorts and Wide World of Sports in it, has a 1.0% surtax so purchases at those locations are subject to a 7.0% tax.

In addition, counties are allowed to have a tax on transient lodging. In both Orange and Osceola Counties it is 6.0%, so all lodging except the All Stars is 12.5% while the All Stars, in Osceola County, is 13.0%.
