Here within is a
summary of rumored prices. (Bookmark it.)
First, everyone needs to be clear on what "Double Occupancy" means. It's a marketing device used most notably by cruise lines to make their rooms seem cheaper than the are... by half! "Double Occupancy" means that you will be charged at a minimum for two people in the room. So, if a cruise line says that the trip only costs $1000 per person (double occupancy), it means they will charge $2,000, even if only one person is in the room. They're charging the minimum of 2 (double occupancy) even if only one. So, whenever you see "double occupancy" per person, multiply by 2.
Second, when comparing the rumored prices, I will focus on the total of two nights. It's a minimum of 2 nights, so, cost per night is irrelevant unless you want to compare it to other resorts 'per night' rates. I will post the rumored total, and the final total that 1, 2, or 4 people who are sharing the room would each have to pay for the full two nights.
The Survey
One leaked survey asked people if they would pay $2,000 for the experience. This is where the oft quoted "$1,000 per night" comes from. But that's pretty cheap. The cost split would be...
- 1 person: $2,000
- 2 people: $1,000 each
- 4 people: $500 each.
@Kamikaze claims that this is definitely a "double occupancy" case. This would mean the room for two nights is $4,000. The cost split would be...
- 1 person: $4,000
- 2 people: $2,000 each
- 4 people: $1,000 each.
Jim Hill
@lentesta has said the Jim overheard at a D23 event that the total cost for 2 nights would be $1,300, plus $400 for each extra person. The cost split would be...
- 1 person: $1,300
- 2 people: $850 each
- 4 people: $625 each.
Again, that seems too cheap, and again,
@Kamikaze says it's surely "double occupancy." That would make the starting price for 2 nights be $2,600. The cost split would be....
- 1 person: $2,600
- 2 people: $1,300 each
- 4 people: $850 each.
@Kamikaze
Don't know how Kamikaze knows, but their reckoning is the room will be a total of $2,200 (pitched as $550 double occupancy per night), plus $400 per extra person. The cost split would then be...
- 1 person: $2,200
- 2 people: $1,100 each
- 4 people: $750 each.
That Other Site
The Unnameable Site claimed they got leaked prices: $3,300 for one person for two nights, plus extra for each extra person going up to $7,200 for 5 people. Doing some quick algebra, the cost split would be...
- 1 person: $3,300
- 2 people: $2,138 each
- 4 people: $1,556 each.
That other site thought this was a good price because they got confused that "3 days / 2 nights" means you price for 2 nights, and not 3 days. So, they divided the total cost by 3 and thought $1,100/night was a good price! [Per night, this schema is actually $1,650 per night.]
