The ddp is listed at 41.99 pp per night is that plus tax?

I'm still trying to figure out the tax question too. I did notice my Fantasmic dinner plan did say not including tax.

Here is a link to the list of restaurants that take DDP for 2010 that I just found

Thanks for the reply I was actually looking for a link to tiw resturants. I found 2009 but sana and yak and yeti were not on them...I was hoping that changed for 2010. If it hasn't I will probably go with the ddp....when I do the math it just makes sense.... I just don't want to eat all those desserts( I actually do but that is the problem)

anyone know about the taxes?

Sales tax is applied to food purchases. When a menu says "plus tax" that means the prices *do not* include sales tax. This is the default, if nothing is said, assume tax has not been added. The tax will be computed and added to your bill.

If a menu says "tax included" then the sales tax has been pre-added to the price of each item. In the US this is rarely done, but sometimes vendors will price their items so that with tax they round to whold dollar amounts (or at least no pennies) in order to simplify handling of cash.

Sales tax at Walt Disney World is 6.5%, except at the All Star Resorts where it is 7% (All Star Resorts is in a different county than most of WDW).

So, if you are paying out of pocket at a restaurant, expect to pay a sales tax added to the total.

When you buy a Disney Dining Plan the sales tax is prepaid. So you won't have to pay any extra tax out of pocket each time you use a credit. This is not so for gratuities (tipping) - you still have to tip, but only at table service.

Also, the price of Disney Dining Plan per day (and the resort packages) *includes tax*. So you don't have to pay extra sales tax to figure out the total cost of your package.

So suppose you buy the regular DDP during high season for $US 46.99 - tax has been pre-paid. This means that the prices on the menus for TS, CS, and snacks need only add up to $US 44.12 since this amount plus 6.5% sales tax equals $US 46.99.
