A Spirited Perfect Ten

You mean about what the place is worth? (I admit to having paid as much as $64 plus tax for the place)
I just did a search for a Super 8 in my city and it's ~$85/night. I get the idea that Disney should have more deals in an attempt to fill rooms, but when you talk about 'worth it' I can't think of situation where a standard hotel room is $40/night and I wouldn't be seriously suspicious about it's quality. Unfortunately nowadays $100/night isn't a ridiculous price for a value hotel, especially with resort transportation like Pop.

(I say that while researching multi-room vacation home rentals that charge the same rate, but that's a different beast and doesn't change the fact that hotel rates are what they are around the country)

The movies, or as themed attractions?

Both actually. I've no real interest in the attractions..... and ever since the SW trailer? Meh. Marvel, schmarvel. They're milking superheroes to death and its overload. I dont give a toss about Spider Man or whatever else theyre gonna do... with the exception of Deadpool. (World Star! The Merc with a Mouth is Bananas!) Ant Man!?!? No thanks. I need some breathing room. Its overkill. In typical Disney fashion "If it worked once and was great, then clearly overkill will be AMAZING!" I'm sure The Avengers 2/3 will be good, I'm sure GUAG part 2 will be fine. Its just not my focus right now.

Outside of Tomorrowland, there's nothing for me that will be more of a Generational moment, daresay a moment in cinematic time that is pure gold, and that is Star Wars. Its a sequel myself and others of my generation have waited THIRTY-TWO years for. I'm going back to a galaxy far far away.

One line from Han Solo beats whatever genius story Wheadon came up with.

OLC knocks it out of the park again. My question is are there really going to be other attractions beyond the sled e ticket? Cause as is I am already more than satisfied. I am in the minority here of people who still enjoy frozen (many hate it now due to Iger and co's poorly made decision of having it be a replacement of Norway's Maelstrom). So this area is a dream come true for me! If I wasn't a broke college kid I'd have already visited TDR multiple times :<

Excluding WDW, Visit Orlando reported that the average daily rate in metro Orlando was $122.50 in February 2015.

$100/night for a budget motel is high but I acknowledge that $40/night usually is tolerable but skeevy.

Completely off topic, and in the wrong forum...but.
I'm planning my 60th for June at Disneyland. I wrote guest services and asked for suggestions on how to wrangle a large crowd of neighbors from Palm Springs (who already booked rooms at HoJo's, Disneyland Hotel etc.), and friends from Los Angeles. I happened to mention we love Trader Sam's and our crowd likes cocktails. They came back offering a $1200.00 deposit to reserve the Trader Sam's patio. Not the response I was expecting.

@ParentsOf4 can probably answer this better, but I suspect that Eisner levels of investment into WDW over the next 9 years would exceed $4.2 billion.
It's impossible to say what Michael Eisner would do over the next 9 years because we don't know how he'd react to the current business environment.

During his 21-year tenure as CEO, his theme park philosophy evolved from "I don't have a clue" to "Build, build, build!" to "We need to reduce costs!" I can't say, if given the chance, which Eisner would emerge today.

Think for yourselfer
This is a serious question. Why is it, according to many here, that TWDC, and more specifically TDO, hates its guests? What is it that causes such maliciousness to take place in Florida? I own a small business, and the idea of hating my customers is so completely foreign to me.
