Hi Nellann,
Ahh...I love that there's another Disney planner out there who plans out details like I do! I confess...I actually keep a Disney dining spreadsheet with restaurant prices for places we're planning to dine and calculations about my total after my Disney Vacation Club or
Annual Passholder discounts, plus tax and gratuity. I realize how nerdy that makes me sound, but I love planning all kinds of Disney details!
Liberty Tree Tavern and
Tusker House Restaurant are two of my family's favorites, so I'm happy to hear you're considering those for your upcoming vacation. I think you'll love them! (Pro tip? Be sure to save room for the Oooey Gooey Toffee Cake at Liberty Tree Tavern...it's one of my all-time favorite Disney foods!)
Sites like AllEars can be incredibly helpful to find Guest reviews and some additional details and photos, but anytime
I encounter a variance in details between Disney's site and any third-party site, I always go with the information on Disney's site. For some added confirmation, I took a peek at my Disney Resort hotel receipt from a stay this fall, and it does appear that I paid tax in addition to the fixed meal price at a table-service restaurant. I'm currently planning to do the same on my upcoming vacation, too, for any restaurants where Disney's site states that tax is additional. I figure it's better to plan on paying the tax and be pleasantly surprised if it happens to be included than to have it added unsuspectedly.
Thanks so much for visiting us at planDisney with your question about some planning details, Nellann! I hope you have a truly magical...and
delicious...vacation!
