I'm pretty sure both attractions will feature the same technology, but perhaps a different storyline.

I am not sure about the song sounds a bit annoying but i am sure it will sound magical when all the costumes and sets are in place. Both Nemo attractions will be diferent very little similarities.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN I also wonder why refurbishing a section of the All-Star into suites. Is this because they can't sell all of the rooms they have there and have to "cut back"?

Originally Posted By NikkiLOVESMickey I read somewhere that they are going to turn the unfinished Pop Century phase into family suites. I want to know if they're going to charge suite prices for rooms that are still located at a value resort.
Originally Posted By irishfan Well I would imagine they would charge suite prices relative to the actual resort. So a suite at the Pop would be a lot cheaper, than say a suite at the Boardwalk etc.
Originally Posted By leemac Nikki they have been accepting reservations for the suites so you should be able to find out if you are interested. I believe they are much more reasonable in price pitching at the value suites market like Embassy.

Originally Posted By MinnieSummer Or maybe Disney finally realizd that famillies of 5 were staying elsewhere rather than pay ridiculous amounts to have two rooms at WDW.

Originally Posted By FenwayGirl I don' think that $169 is so high. Not much more that the 2 rooms at a value and you have the added kitchenette and 2 bathrooms!
Originally Posted By NikkiLOVESMickey I would pay $169 to have a larger room that could hold all of my family. However, we prefer the moderates, so I guess we'll be stuck splitting the fam between 2 rooms.
Originally Posted By LuvDatDisney "Sounds like Disney finally found an excuse to up the prices at this economy motel." That's about it. Disney has missed out on this niche of the market for years, though. Families that wanted to book onsite were pushed into FW cabins, Disney Institute villas (in the old days), and DVC. The prices were prohibitive to a large chunk of the market who were staying off-property at family suites properties. This is a good idea on Disney's part, albeit late. You do get more for your money off-property at the LBV Embassy Suites or Residence Inn or Staybridge Suites, but for people that just have to stay inside WDW, it's a great option. And a way for Mickey to add to the coffers.
