Inspired By TWIRLYWIG - WOULD You If You COULD Spend Over $700 on a Room at WDW???

[BethR]

If you had unlimited money to spend, would you spend money differently at WDW?

I HOPE that I would still spend my money wisely, even if I had a lot of it! I've already "upgraded" a bit from the days of the $28 hotel room that FELT like a $28 hotel room! Thanks to Priceline, I paid $45 for the MOWC - a deluxe hotel worth far more than I paid.

 

[Ecdubfan]

I'm sure I would act alot differently. With the goal of trying all things Disney at least once, the $700 hotel room would be one...for sure.

If I had the money - I would still be staying at the All Stars with my refill mug in hand. Except I might stay there more often - like yearround!

DH has one of those calculator watches and he likes to figure out odd little math problems at Disney - like while we're in line and he'll count up the number of people in line and figure out the $$$ that Disney is making if they each order a meal.

One of his favorites is the cost of the room/hour. At $700, the room costs $29/hour. Not bad, except we're really only in the room about 8 or 10 hours a day, so REALLY you're paying $70/hour!

I used to be Debbie in Mobile but the Army keeps moving us!

 

[TWIRLYWIG]

Now that's an interesting question you bring up, Debbie. Quality vs. Quantity? h-m-m-m-m-m.

I just couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money!

 

[LeahA]

If I just won the lotto, and I had millions, I would definitely splurge from time to time. Why not rub elbows with rich and famous?

 

[casmanuel]

The Millionaire Next Door (you gotta read the book if you haven't) would continue to stay at the Value resorts.

 

[janiejo]

I would buy more DVC points and go more!

 

[ChibiJones]

If we're talking Bill Gates-type "money no object" then sure, $700 wouldn't be that much to spend on a room.

But since I'll probably never be in that category, I don't think I could spend that much on a hotel room. For me, just getting on-site would be a step up.

 

[glo]

I would get the best room I could get at a good price for a very LONG TIME!!!!

I still feel that being there is more important! I would like a room that makes me feel pampered, but not over $200 a night.

Sorry, I must be cheap compared to others.

I think I'd try to stretch everything so that I got a lot for the $$-a little of everything-maybe stay at every Disney resort, eat at each restaurant..I like the variety! I'd also definitely invite all my good friends, relatives, and surprise some that have never had a Disney trip. But, I couldn't feel like I was "paying" a fortune even if money wasn't an issue.

 

[Daisimae]

He wants the expensive stuff of course! I would do everything as I do it now and go more often. Just because we have the money doesn't mean we have to hand it to someone else!

That's my 2 cents,

I like to think that I would stay in a nice room for a good price and save/donate the difference. Some people have so little...Then again, all that money might turn me into Cruella DeVille, so who knows?

 

[BethR]

...could NEVER be Cruella DeVille!
Always good to see you here, Kay!

Thanks, Beth, I appreciate the vote of confidence! It's always fun to post here.

 

[roliepolieoliefan]

I don't think I would do it all the time. But it might be nice to stay in a 700.00 a night hotel room once to see what it was like. Don't think dh would agree though, since he's the one with the money sense. LOL

 

[dianeschlicht]

I would buy enough add on DVC points so I could stay in a 2 BR villa at OKW ALL WINTER!

[baileybrad]

I would still be looking for value for the money and when we are not staying on DVC points...that is still DXL to me.
