Ok. Can anybody honestly answer if and when these fees will be introduced and if so how much. I read the first few pages of this thread but after the whole troll this and troll that I just gave up. So any concrete news?

I haven't, but would be curious to see a comparison of their resort and/or parking fees.

WDW only - 9 trips in my lifetime. (I've visited DLR 10 times).
Disney hotels - 3 of those trips. Shades of Green - 3 trips, completely offsite - 3 trips (aka, we can do without Disney hotels)
I don't have a trip to WDW planned at this time. We choose DLR at the moment (though no trip planned for there at the moment either). We have never stayed on site at DLR.

Atlantis yes, Breakers no. I would not fit in at The Breakers and I would be bored

I posted them about 100 pages back.
Atlantis has resort fees upwards of $50, added to their well over $550 per night rooms.
The Breakers doesn't have resort fees. They do have forced valet. But, their rooms start around $800 per night or so.
The claims that Disney has similar base pricing for less is not quite accurate.
What about their complimentary transportation, you say? Doesn't exist.
He just showed up right on time.. impeccable timing, as always. With interesting new profiles joining him.. gotta love it.
In the past few pages people have said that those who stay at Disney resorts do so because they don't know any better, or making a claim that 5 star resorts are same price or cheaper, with more included.. especially those that resorts like the GF are modeled after. Such as- The Breakers and Boca Raton Resort.
So, there was a discussion about it earlier.
Then someone decided to go to Instagram before coming back and posting here.
People are amusing, and must be very bored.

I've been here 9 years. You are actually intruding on me. Just so you know.

No worries-I don't really know either! I was just trying to make a funny in a thread that's gotten haywire. (But very entertaining!)
Re: about your sports visit--eww! I'm okay with bugs (used to live in Florida with those monstrous palmetto bugs) but something about them being on your or someone's food is just nasty.

Real question.. do the Value Resorts have "resort activities"? Like pool games, tours, etc?

I don't remember to be honest.

Aye, 'tis true. Addicted to Cheetos.
Of course people here love Disney- no matter what side of the discussion you're on, people here love Disney. Sherlock.

Although I know why you used that comparison, it really doesn't connect. The difference between Disney being able to control the actions of an Alligator in a Florida swamp and their ability to charge for something that they are already charging for all these years is not at all the same thing. We all know that those resort fees were built in to what we paid for a room at (pick a) resort. Always have been paying it. Now all of a sudden they are having a new charge under the heading of Resort Fees, however, have they reduced the room rates in any way that would indicate that some of that was a resort fee in the past? No? I didn't think so!
One thing I do wonder though, because I have seen it in other states. Is there a bit of a savings to guest due to the premise that Room rates are taxable and Resort fees either are not taxed or are a lower tax rate?

Pool games - yes.
I don't know what kind of tours would be available - here's your pool, here's your arcade, here's your food court, here's where you can park your car - for a charge (or not) of $30/night. Tour over.

I actually just googled resort fees in Florida... here's an article that I've never seen. It's kind of interesting.
