Are set ticket prices already taxed?

Correct. Disney ticket list prices do not include the 6.5% Florida sales tax.

Sign up for the Undercover Tourist newsletter. They buy tons of WDW tickets at a discount, and mark them up a bit. With the exception of a few tickets (like one or two day passes and annual passes), they're always a little cheaper than buying direct from Disney, and they include the cost of taxes and shipping in their price. We used them before and are using them for our next trip. They're 100% legit. If you're a member of AAA, they have discounted tickets, too but Undercover Tourist is better. http://www.undercovertourist.com/

While I think that is a great idea, it's not really done in North America. There has been talk for years now of having the full tax-in price on the price tags in Ontario, but nothing has really come of it. Part of it could be because of the confusing sales tax laws we have (e.g.. there is a provincial tax and a federal tax, and how much you get charged can depend on how much you buy (e.g. if you spend under $X you don't get charged the provincial tax, but do get charged the federal tax)).

When you go through the website, it will show you the amount plus tax on the right hand side now. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tickets/
It's still worth checking Undercover Tourist or MapleLeaf Tickets to see if you can get them cheaper, though.

UK also, I don't get it either. However last time I was in Florida I got talking to a Canadian guy and this came up.
It thought not not including it was a far better system as it showed you exactly how much you were giving to the government each time you buy something. I though it was an interesting take on it. I got the point being made, however as a consumer I find it really irritating. The price you see is not the price you pay.....
Would there be a shock if we did this here.....adding 20% would inflate your bills considerably more.

Join me, together we can rule the galaxy.
Be careful buying from outside sources if you plan to upgrade, there are reports all over the past few days that Disney is no longer allowing discounted upgrades on tickets purchased outside of Disney. For example upgrading from a 5 day to a 6 day would cost the same as a single day ticket or even upgrading from a standard to Park-hopper is not being allowed.

um... since when? That wouldn't make much sense... not allowing people to upgrade is turning down money...

Because your already there and might actually pay the full $99.00 for one more day of Magic. Though I could argue both sides of this one.

But that pretty much defeats the purpose of having authorized ticket resellers, if you are just going to give guest a hard time for going to an authorized third party source.
