How do they get away with charging those amounts? Because they fill the rooms charging those rates so of course they will charge whatever the market will bare.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance $500 bucks for a room where I'll be spending just my sleeping hours mostly is definitely not worth it to me. That's why I wish they'd offer a value resort hotel.

Having been able to stay in a Disneyland Resort for $200 or less for so many years is. That is an outstanding price compared to what WDW guests have been paying for Deluxe hotels for quite some time!
Originally Posted By RoadTrip By the way... I refuse to pay that also. Before I joined DVC, I never stayed at a Disney Deluxe resort... it was moderate or value every visit. The times I have stayed at the DLH and Paradise Pier it was with DVC points, not cash.

I am finding the hotels near Disneyland to be over priced and pretty run down. I choose to rent a car and pay for the parking which still ends up cheaper and the hotels is much nicer.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I think Disney maybe thinks that the hotels on Harbor Blvd have the moderate/value market filled and people wouldn't book properties at DLR that were more expensive than that. If that is their thinking, I think they are wrong. It might be tough to sell value resorts at DLH... the rooms are really small and you could do far better on Harbor. The WDW moderates are nice enough that I think people would pay the premium to stay on-site.

Originally Posted By darcy-becker I say this as someone who's never stayed in any of them but if you're splurging as a treat and can afford it, go for the GCH.

Originally Posted By ophellia we're going in Feb and the pool will be unlikely and it's just my man and I, no kids...I keep reading more about each Hotel...I have been to each one to eat at a restaurant, well before 2007 when I moved away. This is a hard decision!
