Camping but not.

[DaveInTN]

I just talked to Bobby. He says Disney is going to set up a cyber campground so people can rent virtual campsites for 50 bucks. For their 50 bucks, Disney will allow them to wedge in two extra people into the cabins as long as they bring their own air mattresses and sleep on the floor. For another 25 bucks they can sleep 4 more out on the deck. You wil also be allowed to use a vacant barbeque grill and your kids can loop on their bikes, but only if you are a non smoker.

Here we go again.

This plan would only appeal to me if I could tie my phone to the lagone.

According to my most recent pricing from Tina, renting her RV would save you $975 over a cabin stay, assuming you are in a Premium site and stayed for 2 weeks at the end of July (or $1,228 in a full, or $1,144 in a preferred). Even with the premium site, that's enough savings to rent 2 (count 'em TWO!) golf carts from Kenny and still pocket some cash!

Thanks to those of you that tried to be helpful with suggestions. Some of the rest of you take too much delight in sniping at people.

When we travel, we often put a air mattress on the floor so sons don't sleep w/daughters(or son with girlfriend) and my youngest still sleeps with mom & dad(no comments please, it is what works for us) so we rarely fit the proper configuration for hotel rooms but we pay for what we would fit in. In other words, we always pay for the number of people we have, we just don't always sleep 2 per bed. If we switched to 2 connecting rooms at All Stars, we would still be 5 in one room and 3 in the other. I'm not sure why this is that much different.

We are still exploring the possibility of rigging up some air-conditioning for the tent and having 2 of the boys sleep there. We are driving 2 vehicles down so it will provide us a parking spot for our second car too. I found the other thread about renting a campsite and not occupying it and the consensus was Disney doesn't seem to care as long as they get their money.

You're missing the point, however, that there is a rule regarding maximum occupancy in the cabin that you would be violating if you have 8 people in the cabin. This isn't necessarily Disney's rule, but maximum occupancy rules are established and enforced by State and Local laws. Regardless of how you pay for the extra two people, 8 people are not allowed to occupy the cabin.

Yes, and you probably noticed that you read the same responses in the other thread as you got in this one you started, so I wonder why you act so indignant about getting similar responses to your question. See, you might think Disney doesn't care as long as they get their money, but others do who camp at FW. Just because you didn't get the responses you wanted, doesn't mean people are sniping you. They just don't agree with you. To get opinions, isn't that why you posted the original question?
