Hi there! Is anyone able to tell me the tax rates and charges added to character dining? Thank you do much :)

CA sales tax is 8.75% - Mouse4life  1085.8 #78 8:16PM
Sales tax is different by county - cesium55  529.7 #218 8:22PM
OC sales tax is 8.75% - debbiev  59.3 #3590 8:26PM
^ what she said, cities and counties can also add a sales tax - Mouse4life  1085.8 #78 8:28PM
In San Diego it's 7.75% - princessamandamarie  213.0 #1450 8:29PM
Depends on which part of Dan Diego you are in. Also, with the character dining they add in the tip as well as the tax. - Lelundrial  341.7 #429 8:30PM
OC sales tax is 7.75% isn't it? - IDVandalSkipperCM  1299.1 #63 8:33PM
You are correct IDVandalSkipperCM, it's 7.75% - debbiev  59.3 #3590 9:30PM
Thank you very much!!! - ariel1981  276.8 #762 9:41PM
They also add an 18% gratuity. They told me when I made my reservations yesterday! - akpoppins  243.3 #1074 9:55PM
Is that on top of the 8.75% tax?!?! Wow!!! - ariel1981  276.8 #762 10:01PM
We do character breakfast at storytellers and they have never added a 18% gratuity😳. Maybe they add to bigger parties? - simba77  238.5 #1130 10:05PM
Yes for bigger parties, usually 6 and over :) - disneymomma87  163.9 #2102 10:07PM
Yes. Usually with large parties, gratuity is added on the bill. But remember, it's gratuity. If service was awesome or not that great you can adjust accordingly. - Waites4DodgerEars  665.3 #157 10:09PM
Hmmmm according to Disney dining they add 18.5% (booked Minnie and friends and Goofys kitchen) and there are only 4 of us!!! - ariel1981  276.8 #762 12:07AM
Ok got my receipt from the Minnie and Friends breakfast, 10/6/12. Adult price $23.99, child price $11.99, I got 15% off for premium AP discount of $5.40. Subtotal $30.58, tax $2.37. Total $32.95. Goofy's Kitchen for Dinner came up to $54.36 with my %15 AP discount. Gratuity on that was $8.82, and tax $3.91. - Lelundrial  341.7 #429 7:38AM
We have done both Minnie & friends and Goofy's kitchen, taxed on both but only added gratuity at Goofy's (18%) - figzchic  462.4 #264 7:53AM
I think if you buy the character dining tickets beforehand the tax and gratuity was included. At least, that's how it used to be a couple years ago. Things change. Especially prices. 😩💸 - luv2laffhahahaha  97.1 #3069 8:02AM
A friend told me if you book things like goofy's kitchen through get away today online they didnt pay sales tax. Check it out, i have not done it myself, just what i was told - DlandDude  262.1 #897 8:41AM
