Yeah, low cost compared to the other WDW options lol

Same price offsite can get you a nicer hotel.

Yes, but you are offsite. That's the point. People act like on-property hotels should be priced the same as off-property hotels and only want to compare the hotel itself. "Well, you can get the same room 2 miles down the road for 20% less." But the fact is, being on-site is a major perk that those other hotels don't have. Paying $151 a night for a hotel that is on Walt Disney World property is most definitely low cost.

Why is this thread about hotel room prices?

  • Speculation that large portion of domestic spending will be on resort improvements and more DVC expansion
  • Cost comparison of Disney resort prices vs Universal (side discussion of benefits gained/lost/never given)
  • Cost comparison of Disney resorts from season to season, vs Universal vs off-site hotels
  • And here we are!

Where is this chart?

He might be referring to this:

Though, this doesn't really disprove concerns that much of it could go to DVC and resort improvements. Luckily, $30 Billion is a lot of money. Disney could add a new DVC every year of the ten year plan, and still have plenty of money for parks investment.

It also provides breathing room for a 2nd park at Shanghai Disney Resort. Because their government partners are coughing up roughly 60% of the money, Disney could devote $3-4 Billion to Shanghai, and get a fantastic second gate, new resorts, and additions to the first park.

The people that should be happiest with this chart are Disney Cruise Line fans. One of the tricky things about this capital-allocation plan is when exactly it starts counting. Presumably, delivery fees for the three cruise ships already under construction will be counted towards the $12 Billion. That eats up some of the cash. Disney might also allocate money to build more physical infrastructure (cruise terminals, private islands, piers). But I think we could see 3-4 additional ships added by the end of the period. That would push DCL fleets to 11-12. That's just a speculative guess though.

Thanks for sharing. Still waiting for @peter11435 to tell us what “chart” people are being misleading about. It’s pretty bad form to call out others for acting in bad faith but refusing to share the source material he’s claiming is being misrepresented.
