5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
The prices do drop after the first of the year. It looks like they’re trying to gash people who HAVE TO be there opening night.

Same! I look forward to staying here using my cheapo resale SSR points when the initial rush comes down. I paid as much for the entire contract as a week would cost here in cash.Even at dropped prices… I would never in my days spend so much on lodging
Every MK hotel at any time of the year is out of my price range.
It's not really a success until I can order a bald eagle leg at a Disney park.

Hey kids, we can go stay in a 2 bedroom penthouse for a week (without park tickets)...
Or everyone in the family can get a new laptop, iPad, iPhone, Switches, we'll get a new TV and Playstation and we'll also go on a cruise.
It's the trouble with "DVC math" occasionally. Sure you are getting a 50% discount, but you're getting a 50% discount on something that's 250% overpriced to begin with. There's a reason these systems use points and not 'dollars'. There are lots of cases where DVC actually is a deal though.

I think the trade off is do you want a small table in your room and real dishes with a dishwasher, plus a restaurant in the building (probably), or do you want a larger room with 2 bathroom sinks and showers plus a 3rd sleeping surface so it sleeps 5 instead of 4 and better proximity to the TTC to walk over there for the morning monorail, but a walk to food/pools?

The way I always look at lodging, I am basically never in the place except for when I’m sleeping. When I travel, I am doing activities the entire time.
So I want the most comfy, cleanest, possible choice, at an affordable price.
As others have noted, these prices are crazy. My wife and I are in our 40s, have no kids and have professional jobs. We live comfortably. But these prices would break the bank for us. Yes, we have the money to spend on them. But not within our budget. I don't know how people pay them!
December 13 starts Polynesian's highest pricing seasons of the year, according to MouseSavers. Left to right here are full prices for longhouse standard, preferred, and bungalow:
Prices in the season are a good 33-50% higher than the rest of the year.

They should rename the "Standard View" to "Monorail and Grand Floridian Parkway View"

Just think if the medical profession adjusted their rates according to demand ---sorry sir if you wait until April that required surgery would only be 500 bucks but since its the season 1500 bucks for you --yes I'm being sarcastic

A week in the two bedroom theme park view over Christmas (12/21 - 12/28) is $33,000.... I just priced it out. I may be wrong, but I suspect Disney is not going to sell these rooms out at this price point... or at least, they won't for long. I guess, unlike the Galactic Starcruiser, they will be able to discount when they have to.

Those prices are clearly out of touch with reality.

But they have trouble renting VGF at those prices... a lot of trouble. That's why they converted a building to DVC...

I mean, that kind of can happen based on deductible/MOOP progress and when you do things relative to plan renewal.

I will say, the pictures that are posted with the room rates look less beige than what was in the video.
Headboard, Wall art and tub, and Shower are some areas I noticed differences.
I'd still prefer less beige, but I like the appearance of what's in the pictures more than I did when I saw it in the video. The shower looked white or grey with a little blue in the video and it appears black in the pictures. I'm guessing neither is 100% accurate, but I hope the rooms are closer to the pictures than the videos.
