I think the only “rule changes” are:
A) No more rolling window for FP, you get the days you pay to be onsite
B) If you cancel your stay FP are canceled (this as already against Disney rules they just found a way to enforce it properly)
You still get all of the benefits for staying onsite since you are paying to be onsite for the dates you have the reservation (regardless of your desire to actually camp). In the case of the campground:
magic bands
Parking at the parks
EMH
60 FP (for days onsite)
In theory, and as noted by the pp, you can actually use the pool, go to any other events that they do, use it for a home base while onsite if you want. And yes, I can see circumstances where people decide that they want the perks of being onsite but do the cost benefit analysis and realize that 2 rooms at all stars will cost them as much as an offsite house plus the campground (ya, I was shocked when I realized that myself), the larger your group the more this will have an impact.
there are other strategies for how to handle booking, IMO Disney will catch onto an every other night booking and that would, to me, be a lot to go through to get the stated perks. But to each their own
also, this would work if you wanted to stay during free dining and did an analysis that shows that an all stars stay is worth the cost for free dining, I don’t see that being the case but I have not done the analysis myself. Again the worth will be up to each person individually...
