We received a notice in the mail from our travel agent concerning an additional tax for our cruise this August.

In part, it reads as follows:

"I just received a memo from Disney stating that the government taxes and fees have been raised, and as a result the total price of your package has increased by $104.43."

Has anyone heard about this?

What really upsets me is that when I booked the cruise last July, I intended to pay for the whole thing then. But the travel agent talked me into only putting down a deposit, so that if any "specials" on prices came up, she could get them for us as long as we had not totally paid for the cruise yet. So I held off for the possibility of saving some money.
I'll be extremely upset if this "new" tax would not have applied to me if I had totally paid for the cruise last July.

Anyone have any insight on this?
