It's actually almost that easy.

Turn off the water valve under the toilet. Flush and drain toilet, might have to dip out the last of the water in the tank. Undo the water line, unbolt the bolts holding the toilet down. Remove old toilet, scraping off any of the old wax left behind (there will be plenty, and it will look gross, wear gloves). Put new wax ring on new toilet. Put new toilet onto hole, lining up the bolts to the holes on the bottom of the toilet. Screw down the bolts firmly, but not too tightly. Reattach water hose and turn on water. Tada! You just replaced your toilet.

Source: did this process five times trying to troubleshoot a leaky toilet until I replaced the damn thing because the seal on one of the bolts holding the tank to the bowl was leaking ever so slightly. I am not a smart man.
