If I’m not mistaken, and I’m sure someone else will elaborate, Universal’s Endless Summer looks as though it will be more on a par with Disney’s value resorts, where as Cabana Bay is closer to a Disney moderate.

"Ultra-value?" An arbitrary name to sound better than Disney's "Value" no doubt... And they're not going any cheaper than that in our lifetimes.
What about another normal-value resort? Any insiders hear anything about this? I also Disney getting a Ritz-Carlton-style hotel soon, but the Four Seasons might have done that.

Even now, with all the price increases, you can find a value resort room for just a little more than $100 per night, depending on the time of year you go and what promotions they are offering. I can't imagine Disney ever offering on property resort rooms for less than that.
As to building new value resorts, I certainly hope so, and I expect they eventually will. I may be in the minority in thinking that. But they are doing their first "moderate" DVC resort. I think they will circle back to the values eventually. Especially since, as others have said, AoA and Pop are about to get a lot more popular with the gondola system.

You mean a warehouse type structure with cots and a shared common bathroom facility like at a gym? Nah, can't see that. And by alot of guesses, WDW is going to move away from the various tiering of resort types as they add the gondola and make other change that blur the commonly accepted lines.

I can't imagine them going lower than the All-Stars. That's why there are off-site places.

I believe cabana bay runs 150-250 typically...regular price.
So more or less moderate WDW type place with value pricing.

I can’t see $147 for All Star anything. $75-$80 max or you can get a really nice non-Disney hotel for $147.
Heck, I’m going to CBR in a few days for $129, and our last stay at AKL in Sept 2017 was around $225.
Gotta shop budget!

And this is where WDW needs to work on, 2 Bedroom Suite that is less than two rooms in price. Larger families need better options and real beds.

The Universal site does say rooms "from $73.00" but I couldn't find an actual date that gave that rate.

Caribbean is only worth $125-150...I can’t stress that more.
All Star is about $100
Deluxes vary...but since they’ve had Bigtime trouble selling them for 10+ years...it’s closer to $300 than $600...
This is a Disney board...so it would be a hard sell here....but the pricing structure is out of whack. They do a good job of selling “out of whack”, however

I have never seen Cabana Bay anywhere near that price. It must have been a peak season or something. They always have a discount. The most I've ever seen for an AP is 99.00. We stay at Sapphire Falls, which is so much better than most every resort at Disney, for 127.00 to 167.00 I've even gotten it for 119.00. This place is beautiful, clean, has a huge, well stocked fitness center with a sauna in the women's and men's locker rooms. It has meeting rooms, upscale bar, room service, Starbucks, covered parking, game room, etc. The pool is massive. It has water taxi service straight to the parks, with security at the dock saving time. And, important to us, they only allow dogs in certain rooms. My daughter has a couple of videos on YouTube with tours of Sapphire Falls.

Can we go back to the rates they showed during WDW's 20th anniversary.....Does beg to wonder what rooms they were for as no value rooms were created yet during that time....
