It is not “too expensive” to stay on Disney property. I’m talking All Stars up to the moderates. Not Deluxe which yes, can be very expensive for the average family.
The All Stars are great hotels.
My comparison: last summer my husband and I stayed at hotel near Weirs Beach/ Lake Winnipesaukee. It was right across the street from the pier & public beach. The hotel was… fine. Standard room with 2 queens and a bathroom. It was ok in terms of cleanliness but not at all modern or updated. We 100% paid for the location. Rates were $190-$210/night depending on weekday vs weekend. Prices at the All Stars are pretty much the same, even cheaper for certain times of the year. And rooms at the All Stars are so much nicer than these rooms. So I get annoyed when people complain Disney resorts are expensive. They are very much comparative and sometimes better than other similar hotels.
