Why do Nemo rooms cost more?

I just priced out our January stay for 8 nights. Why are the Nemo rooms $90 more than the other suites? I never noticed this price difference before, but maybe I wasn't paying attention.

I've never noticed it, but if they are it's probably because of their proximity to the main pool and lobby - like preferred rooms.

They have not been before, but I am not surprised. They are always the ones booked first. They are closest to the feature pool and the main building (depending on the room). And personally, I like the theme best (it is the most gender neutral I think too). I think they are probably trying to spread out the reservations a bit. From what I have seen in terms of popularity of suites: Nemo (1st), Cars (2nd, but they have 3 buildings instead of 2, so more rooms), then Lion King.

We stayed there in October and the Nemo rooms are definitely the closest and have the best pool. It is a huge property and it is quite a hike to get to the back sections. Not bad in the morning, but a killer at night when your feet are killing you

That is new for 2016, and due to the proximity to the main areas.

It stinks because me and my one daughter wanted Nemo..... but with the price increase my other daughter won out and got Lion King. She is a happy girl!!!

My favorite is the cars section! I knew this was coming though. Next will be rooms in the LM section being priced out as well. The ones facing the pool, upcharge! Heck, any of the rooms facing a pool, up charge!

Wellllll - fairly easy. To answer the original post: because WDW can get people to pay more for them . We've never stayed at that resort.... but the pattern is fairly consistent.

Any time Disney notices people consistently requesting a specific room type or room location, they tend to add an additional cost for that room. Makes perfect sense. From what I understand, there was a time when they did not charge extra for a pool view, but since so many people requested them, they realized they could put a premium charge on those rooms. It does tend to distribute guests more evenly throughout the World.

I agree that the Nemo rooms have the neatest decor. But I am not sure I would want to stay in one again. Our room was first floor and faced the pool. We had a nice view and the room was conveniently located, but the room was so loud - even well past midnight. Like other preferred vs. standard room options at Disney, you often trade convenience for sleep quality. Since Disney doesn't yet charge extra for "quiet" rooms, I am guessing most guests choose convenience over quiet.

We stayed at AOA in March in a Nemo room- 3rd floor facing the pool. We were a short walk to the main building and busses. Our room was super quiet- we couldn't hear anything. We also had to stand by windows to get a phone signal- the walls are THICK!

I can't imagine staying in a little mermaid room and walking to them after a long day in the parks- they are FAR!!
