Hm, that's one I don't know. Let me see. I think that's Osceola County out there. I found this but it wasn't on an official site:

* The All Star Resorts have a resort tax of 5%, and a combined sales tax of 7%. Your room, then, will be taxed at 12% and purchases (sundries and souvenirs) will be taxed at 7%.
* Purchases at the Wide World of Sports would also be hit with the 7% sales tax.
* All other WDW resorts and retail locations have a resort tax of 5% and a sales tax of 6%. Your room, then, at any other WDW resort, will be taxed at 11% and purchases at 6%.
* If you stay offsite, just keep in mind that you'll be hit with that slightly higher rate if you stay in Osceola County (along SR-192, Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway).


You could always call 407-W-DISNEY and ask. They're VERY nice.

Keep in mind old Walt bought a metric boatload of land out here, so there's no need to squash things in like in Pasadena. So they can have zillions of hotel rooms at prices under $100 a night. Of course there are plenty that are more.

What you probably want is a "Disney Value Resort" like Pop Century, All Star Music, All Star Sports, or All Star Movies. I've stayed at All Star Music and the room was totally adequate. I have a friend who refuses to stay anywhere but Pop Century during her yearly visits so apparently that is a good one too.
