Riiiight!! I’ve seen many people claim to have spent thousands of dollars on a week-long WDW trip, but claim they can’t make it to California because they can’t afford airfare.

No, you just don’t want to go.
“Then I did the math” lol. Exactly. People will pay for what they want and for what they value though. That’s what it comes down to. I personally don’t see the point in paying hundreds of dollars per night for a hotel room that I’m simply using to sleep and get dressed in for a few hours. Considering Disney hotels, if you’re going to the parks all day and only using returning to your room after the night ends, do you really want to spend $800 just to do that? I personally don’t, but there are some folks who consider lodging to be very important while on vacation. I had a supervisor who only stayed in 5-star, luxurious hotels. When I asked her why, she said she already has a nice home, so when she travels, she wants her lodging to upstage her already gorgeous home. And that makes sense. If one can afford it, by all means.
Thinking of my travels again, I paid $1400 for my one-month apartment rental in Rome, Italy back in 2019. That’s less than double the price of the current cheapest Grand Californian rate for ONE NIGHT and my rental was for an entire month.
The more I talk about it, the more I don’t see a stay at the Grand in my future. The prices are too astronomical.
