I won't even book a Disney Moderate for their pricing... They want WHAT for a room with exterior corridors, so so service etc... After I pick myself up off the floor from the laughter I go find hotels that are more in line with reality. When a "moderate" costs more then the Swan/Dolphin, Hilton Bonnet Creek etc I know where Fantasyland really is..
Disney has an audience who will pay anything for "magic" but for me the "magic" has been replaced by the "rip off fairy" And really the only pixie dust she's giving is to Disney not to me. So I am either at the Swan/Doplhin or off site.
And no "free" dining or some "30% discount" don't help. After all Disney hotels are only 50 to 100 percent over priced so the discount doesn't get them in the realm of reality yet!
As a stockholder it's great that a lot of you are willing to overpay. As a guest I am not joining you!
That's cool. Do what works for you. For us, staying onsite is the single most trip enhancing thing we can do.
