You're appalled at the sleazy exploitation of customers by Disney or by the cabins or campgrounds themselves? I'm confused.Pleaaase, if I wanted to stay in a rustic cabin I would actually go to Yellowstone or somewhere in the Smokies; not some knock off at WDW. I'm just appalled, but not shocked, this sort of exploitation happens. Too each sleazy person there own I guess...
There is nothing sleazy about paying for the benefits you want...if you add the price for the campsite to the Bonnet Creek price I am sure they could have stayed at one of the Disney resorts cheaper... They just prefer the Bonnet Creek resort... If they were somehow wrangling to get something without paying for it, you could say it is sleazy, but this is not at all.Pleaaase, if I wanted to stay in a rustic cabin I would actually go to Yellowstone or somewhere in the Smokies; not some knock off at WDW.

You're wrong, but I'm not interested in arguing with people who support this kind of behavior
It's "spoon feed". Enjoy your buckets of pixie dust.Go back and read my original post, its not my job to spoon fed

Your WRONG!You're wrong, but I'm not interested in arguing with people who support this kind of behavior
You'reYour WRONG!
I don't understand all the furor... They paid for the space...they paid for the privelages they got...they didn't technically play the system...if they chose not to lay their head down there, that is their option, but they paid for that space just like everyone else does....they did not get anything for free or take anything away from anyone... And for Disney, why would they care? They have rented the space, and they are not using the resources of the actual campground... There are much larger abuses to be concerned about...like all the advance reservations that prevent anyone from making any sort of reservation from people that don't end up using them...
but again, they paid for a space, they paid for their privelages...that's how it works!!
But they did take something from someone. They're taking the ability away from people to get campsites who actually want to camp. It has become more and more difficult to get a campsite recently because of people like this.
All you'd have to do is try to book a site next week- if you can, then it's no biggie. If you can't- then that proves it. If not next week, then the week after, etc. It wouldn't be a hard study to do- I just don't care enough to look.
Uhh... Right....
And if they're sold out all the time, then that would mean.....?
I can't make you drink, I can only lead you to water.
I'm glad someone brought up the FP example. To me, it's the same thing as being an annual passholder and booking FPs on days you might go to the park just to hold your space...and then not show up. I know people who do this...on LOTS of days just so they can pop over on a whim to ride the cool rides. But, more times than not, they just let those FPs go. By booking the FP without the intention to use it (or actually using it), they're preventing other people from obtaining a FP to actually use.
This is the exact reason why you have to put a credit card guarantee on dining reservations now...because people were booking multiple dining reservations and then never using them.
But that's their GOD GIVEN RIGHT, don't ya know??!!
The new MDX update lets you choose just one FP so you no longer have to pick three if you only want to ride Splash
But aren't AP's unable to book FP until 30 days out? If so, they're already a month behind which is critical for the most popular attractions. If I lived close, I would do the same thing. Not because I'm trying to game the system, but because it might be the only way to have a FP that's worth anything.I'm glad someone brought up the FP example.

And as someone else mentioned, unused FP don't really affect others the same way as what's being discussed here.
