Lightning Lane Premier Pass

[Splash4eva]

He's saving $200/night on the hotel plus roughly $50/day in free breakfast, and the hotel had a shuttle. I don't think the cost of transportation to/from the parks is a concern.

Again i was talking about an apples to apples comparison so feel free to roll your eyes all you want. So a room that holds 4 ie a value resort vs a similar resort off property. Ubers/Lyfts also cut into the savings. I was just curious how much “cheaper” places were bc Values can be cheap as well

$166/night for an off-site room that holds 5 (plus breakfast is included) vs. $380/night for an on-site room that holds 5. Is that not an apples-to-apples comparison? A Disney value room cannot accommodate 5 people, so why you're carrying on about value rooms is beyond rational comprehension.

But... If only there was a way that someone could look up hotel room prices for comparison's sake...

Wouldn’t they be losing the type of guests who stay in their resorts and buy DVC?

Not necessarily. There is many posters here who are regular visitors who never buy MP or PP. They rope drop or go late in the evening.

How much can one really save staying off property? Value im paying 160 per night

It also depends on time of year you go as well.
For my family we always have a car. Either rental or from driving down. So staying off site is a major savings.

But the posters here are just a very small percentage of the guests who buy DVC or stay in deluxe resorts.

What percentage of guests now buy MP and SP? I don’t see forcing that many people into either buying PP or standing in lines as something Disney would do.

It’s kind of like when you were suggesting a Universal model for Disney but with no perks for those in deluxe resorts or DVC.

While it is a small percentage of guests. I would counter your point in that there is no perks for staying on site, other than the free transportation.

It would be interesting to know how many are buying the Premier Pass over MP and SP

I was referring to Universal having the free perk with Express Pass. Of course they also don’t sell DVC.

My point is that a large percentage of WDW guests stay in deluxe resorts or DVC and do so for a week or more with larger parties.

Eliminating MP and SP would force these people to choose between (1) an amount few would be willing to pay in addition to an expensive resort stay with multiple people and (2) standing in lines.

Disney has done some silly things in the last few years but I don’t see them doing something that would be detrimental to that demographic.
