The prices we see on allears-

do they include tax?

Eg- Garden Grill $20.99 lunch for adult- is it plus tax or does that price include tax-(and what is Florida restaurant tax%?) and do most tip on the pretax amount or the amount after tax

TIA,Jen

No it does not include tax.

I believe tax is 6% but I'm not sure. I usually tip on the final bill amount which includes tax.

Any prices published by Disney do not include sales tax. The sitres, including this one and allears, do not try to modify prices to reflect tax.

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%.

You don't have to tip on the tax.
