Trashy people gaming the system at Disney? Stop the presses lol. What else can you expect in a culture where the prevailing mantra is " The world revolves around me and to hell with everyone else" I'm not a perfect person, but I'm glad I'm not scummy enough to inconvenience others.

I wonder why they made that their resting spot. Eventually they'll go somewhere else but why not do it all in 1 trip.

a long distance transportation crew would be different than a short distance removal / disconnection crew

also whoever the buyer is may want to inspect them before paying for transportation to the final destination

^^^ THIS ^^^ also staging them onto trailers requires more space especially if they do 3-4 to a trailer they would need to construct cribbng etc.

Actually occupied, is one thing, but on the DIS there is great demand for the tent sites. Because you can book a fabulous condo for your family of 5 or more at a fraction of Disney resort prices, and then book a campsite for like $60 a night to get resort benefits like 60 day FPs and a "free" magic band. With MDE accounts and online check-in they've figured out a person can do everything without ever having to visit. Yes, this is a real thing.

You are correct. I did this for the first time in April of this year. We stayed at Wyndham Bonnet Creek because it looked (and was) so fabulous. So much more room, great pools and lazy rivers and less than 1/10 the price it would have been on Disney property for 6 of us.
But we do like the early ADR and FP ability of onsite. We also like the convenience of magicbands for charging. So I gave Disney their pound of flesh, paid $75 per night for the advantages and it was the best of both worlds. Still saved me tons of money.

Felt guilty tying up a site that wasn't used, but not as guilty as if we booked, got the early bookings for ADR and FP and then cancelled, as others had suggested.

i dont know exactly how they could stop you from doing what you did, other than raising prices across the board which hurts everyone

maybe check sites for actual signs of occupancy or something, like hotels do. If a room appears empty and they need the room sometimes hotels will change people to checked out in the computer so rooms can be rented again

you should be ashamed of yourself

some kid somewhere didnt get to go camping at disney that week while you left a site empty while you stayed off in your condo

I was toying with going to Disney Springs for lunch after an interview in that area yesterday.Took exit 62 off I-4. I saw one of the cabins being hauled away yesterday on a flatbed type truck, like a tow truck not one of the big flatbed trailers. The cabin looked really small. I have stayed in the cabin loops a few times before and could have sworn they were much longer/wider.


***When did Hess change over to Speedway?

I have never been in one of those. Are they just trailers dressed up as log cabins? The double wide ones I mean from a trailer park.

Yes they are single wide trailers dressed to look like log cabins. And staying at Fort Wilderness is pretty cool, the ex liked it better than the GF. The cabins I have stayed in were nice. The bathrooms were big. The murphy bed mattress leaves a lot to be desired though. Last time I stayed in one it was less than $140 per night, not sure I would pay the $300+they are charging for them now.

Easy enough just require a PHYSICAL check in.

The cabins where were I grew up as a kid...we eventually got a motor home. When I return this year I plan on just setting up a tent and truly roughing it. Being in the campgrounds truly take you away from the hustle and bustle that surrounds all other resorts.

while that may not stop it completely it would definitely make it more complicated

seems like total missed sales opportunity not requiring a physical checkin, especially at fort wilderness where they could use it as an opportunity to upsell on the other activities around that resort

It's impossible to prevent people from gaming the system entirely, But one should have systems in place which at least make them work for it.
