This pass is only for deluxe/villa/dvc resort guests, so if you’re dumb enough to fork over $500+ a night for one of those allegedly primo hotels, $400 isn’t much more.

I have to imagine its because those people don’t necessarily prioritize being in the parks much, so they’re on a two week vacation and go every day with their annual pass. But get those rich asshole butts in the parks so they can spend more more more money.

I spent 11 nights at the Grand Floridian, and paid full price because they NEVER had a discount during my stay (blasphemy!). So I am one of those dumb enough people. But it was a really nice hotel!

11 nights?! Are you new money??!?!

No, I saved up for 3 years during the pandemic to take my "dream Disney World" trip where I basically got to do everything that I wanted to do.

Then lost my job 2 months after I got back.

Kind of wish I stayed at a cheaper place after that!

That sucks, I’m so sorry

Thank you! I'm happy to say that, overall, I haven't struggled that much post lay-off, but it still would have been nice to have an extra at least 5 grand from the hotel!
