You do realize that the cost of admission would just be added to the cost of the room (at probably about 50-100 dollars a day). And every single annual passholder would now have a strong incentive to stay OFF site, since they'd get no benefit from the significantly higher room rates.
People here like to complain about Disney management being incompetent, but I don't think there's anyone anywhere in authority who'd think this is a great idea for the company.
We always stay at the Pop and we've never paid that much! You really have to have blinkers on, if you're paying rack rate for a room at Disney.
We'll be there Nov 30th to Dec 8th. Most nights we're under 100 dollars, a little over on the weekends. Anywhere between 89 to 119 dollars and I'm a happy camper.
Yes, it's more expensive than a discount chain. But discount chains don't have guests decorating their resort room windows for the holidays. They don't have food courts (you usually have to drive over to a nearby Wendys or McDonalds). They don't have movie nights beside the pools. They don't have CMs organizing games for the kids in the water. Heck, they don't have CMs at all! Personally, it's the smiling faces of the staff that keep drawing me back.
I've stayed in discount chains. I've stayed in nicer chain hotels, too. And high end resorts.
And, in my experience, the Pop is priced correctly for the amenities it offers. I'll be paying just slightly more per night to stay in London at a Best Western next spring.
I think I missed something somewhere... why are we talking about sleeping on tables? On Disney property, I've only stayed at the Pop and the Beach Club, so far.
