tax percentage on disney MNSSHP tickets?

[paysensmom]

Does anyone know the percentage charged for tax? I am trying to figure out if it is cheaper to buy them at Shades of Green without tax or at the gate with Disney GCs that I get from Target for 5% off.
If the tax is more than 5%, then I'll get them from Shades of Green

go to disney.com and add them to cart should tell you price with tax before checkout.. I would be worried about them selling out of tickets, but unlikely

Sales tax is 6.5%

The basic Sales Tax rate in Florida is 6.0% and is on most goods and services, including park tickets. 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%.

So the tax on WDW tickets, no matter where sold (other than on a military installation) is 6.5%.

I don't think you can buy special-event tickets at Shades of Green. You can only buy the special Military Salute tickets, regular MYW tickets and Stars & Stripes tickets.
