Aulani started under Eisner.
It's not an excuse. It's a fact.
Who knows?
For the time being, I think they're counting on people being desperate enough to visit and pay whatever they want to charge. Compensate low attendance with higher resort rates.

That’s fine...but it doesn’t change my “acceptance” of unreasonable imbalance.
Very few are working at wdw as their life’s dream

LOL...reverse supply and demand curve. It'll be fine.

They still approved it and improved it. Aulani is the finest domestic resort and it's not close.
1. Aulani
Huge gap.
2. Grand Californian
Medium gap.
3. Animal Kingdom Lodge
Huge gap.
Everything else.

That’s the “theory”...but that’s wrong in this case.Who knows?

They needed to go to a different school of economics

That is probably true. I can only worry about my life and not the perception of neighbors lives ... that is their responsibility as an individual with opportunity. You just hope that leaders that are your employers make good decisions to make employment possible and tolerable. If not it is time to move on and can be a difficult decision.

It’s very hard to compare aulani with anything domestically.
Grand California is highly overrated. The original - wilderness built for half the cost/price - is better lb for lb.
DAKL is the best they’ve ever built. Boardwalk second.
I’d say yacht or beach is probably third. That tends to be more personal preference though.
If we’re gonna pick apart hotel construction/history...we’re gonna need a much longer thread...and coffee

Glad I got to stay at the best then! We went in 2018. Personally my favourite out of the resorts I’ve stayed at. But it’s the only Deluxe I’ve been to. It was the only one that had a reasonable price point.It’s very hard to compare aulani with anything domestically.

I cant get into that without breaking the Politics rules.
Suffice to say, I feel that shouldn't be an issue. People shouldn't have to worry about income or food or rent during this.

I wasn’t gonna say it...
Because I’ve been saying exactly that on forums for 20 years.
...I’m working on some “new material”
I do remember you telling the travel company run site for years that the place wasn’t built to cater to only the wealthy with limited attendance......

Agree with all of this. I do like California Lodge but both lodges in Florida are better imho. DAKL could be a vacation by itself for me. And actually on a work trip my coworkers had no interest in going to the parks (even though they could for free) so I just hung out with them and enjoyed the Lodge in between work. (only time I’ve spent that much time at a bar on Disney property!).
As for the coffee... I’ve got the French press brewing!

My thoughts exactly. As if they needed another shot across the bow.

I went to Epcot and Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios when in 2002/2003. They were offering veterans a deep discount to get them and their families in the park. I had many fond memories. Mission Space was brand new and we actually liked it. Disney advertised the heck out of Philharmagic for some reason
