I think this nails it on the head. Right now, we don't have any real idea of what the experience is going to be like, and I think for most people, that's the first question that needs to be asked. Disney is trying something relatively new and out of the box for them, did they get it right? Price is completely subjective, although still an important part of an individual's purchasing decision, and I am sure for Disney, they care if they got the price point right. But for anyone actually thinking about booking a stay, first the experience has to "work". If I am buying something, I first need to know, do I want it/does it work? If I don't/it doesn't the cost is irrelevant. Let's say someone offered me tickets to the ballet for $10,000K per night for a local high school performance. I am not going b/c I don't like the ballet. Similarly, someone offers me tickets to the Bolshoi, for $50, I am still not going. Why, b/c I still don't like the ballet. The perceived "value" of one ticket vs the other is irrelevant to the idea of if i want to go.To paraphrase Roger Ebert, a good review should let the reader know what the experience is like and whether or not it's something they would enjoy.
Saying something is worth a certain amount of money or warrants a certain ranking is indeed subjective. A review should focus on letting people know things like how much time is devoted to activities, what types of things happen, what is the scope of the offerings, etc.
Also, any review content shared here should really be marked as spoilers, for anyone not wanting to hear every detail.
Once there is evidence that what is being offered is good/entertaining. Then everyone can make their own opinions as to if the juice is worth the squeeze.
