We stayed offsite in January out of necessity (and sheer cost), I was trying to find locations on AirBNB/VRBO and looking at satellite images to find the general locations - and I was AMAZED at the sheer size of these vacation home neighborhoods and cottage rental communities near the properties - and as you said - all those still under constructions - rows after rows of 5+ bedroom houses that were selling at $1M+ ...
Yeppers! When the annual passes were on sale between September 8, 2021 to November 21, 2021, just that short time period -- 40% of them were sold to "new" passholders.
We actually considered moving (from Atlanta) to the Orlando area for a hot second - but the housing costs near WDW - amongst other reasons made it a bit prohibitive.
A $25M home or a $100k townhome both give Disney $0 in revenue. The ability to buy an expensive home near Disney should give that person absolutely no advantage in riding rides. Now if that person was to book VIP tours or join Club 33, giving Disney more money than others, than they should absolutely have advantages and perks others don’t have.
This concept has been discussed to death on other threads. Bottom line: when faced with facts, this argument loses.
I said MANY people not ALL people. I was also referring to visiting a coaster park since the person I was replying to loves the big thrill coaster parks. Would your husband like riding 20 coasters in one day or does he like variety like most adults.. Most people of any age can handle a coaster or two a day.
But... it's not just technology. It's technology, stand on your head to learn the crazy rules (which change regularly), and "pay the ransom."
On what points does this argument lose? Are you saying offsite locals/guests spend more per day, per entrance to a park than a non-local, once in a lifetime guest?
Yes! There you have it.. This!
You point about the planning is why they went to Genie+. It's unfortunate it doesn't work well. The complaint by your average guest is they didn't like the amount of planning
I said it was discussed to death on other threads. DISBoards has a search feature.
Hey if that’s what you want to do more power to you, you can always walk up to a restaurant and ask if they have availability, I assume you have just as good a chance as you would in the scenario you described.
You said “this argument loses”.
Yep. I'm under 70 yrs old...I get how search works on the internet. I'm asking you what you think.
Good luck with that. What I've found throughout this forum is that people that disagree with you like to make snippy comments, but then refuse to follow it up with an explanation or facts.
If the Reedy Creek Improvement District is dissolved it would change the permitting and approval process to build on-site hotels.
I wouldn’t get bogged down with that, the counties that Disney resides in can make special exceptions, to accommodate Disney
Would agree, I think there is still a lot to be written in this story. I don't see the state of Florida wanting to take on approximately 2 billion in debit by removing Reedy Creek. I suspect they will come to some agreement.
Why are you so defensive? It's okay who rides what, when, and at what age. There was nothing on that post to put you on the defensive. Have a good day.
