Will VAT Increase in Jan 2011 affect cost of tickets?

[matt1902]

Just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this question:

When VAT increases from 17.5% to 20% in Jan 2011, will the cost of WDW tickets increase?

The reason I ask is that you are buying from UK agents (most of the time), but the tickets are for a park in a country not affected by VAT.

Anyone got any ideas?

I shouldn't think so but I don't know for sure.

I think if the tickets are sold by an agent in the UK, they are taxed in the UK. Although they are US tickets, tickets purchased in the US are taxed differently and consumers are subject to their tax system, so I would think it will have an effect.

It all depends on how the monies are passed to Disney in the US and what the agreement is I suppose. Not that I know anything about it. I am just speculating the same as you guys.
