At the end of the day, without a "slow season", Disney does not distinguish between your money and anyone else's. If you choose not to, or can no longer afford to, stay on-property, that room will NOT sit vacant because you chose not to take it. Folks who cannot afford to vacation at WDW are not Disney's target market. Prices are higher now than they ever have been, and people are showing up by the millions each year. Just don't let the door hit you on the way out. Because even if it does, Disney won't flinch at the sound.
I get what your saying. I just don't think this will last. Right now the planets are aligned for Disney. They keep raising prices and people keep coming. BTW they raised resort rates this year in Feb which most people didn't notice. I think there are a lot of people not happy with this added price because the room rates are so much higher than everywhere else. Hopefully most will show their displeasure with their wallets. I know I am. I had already decided I wouldn't be back after this year because of the increasing prices and now this added fee is just the straw. I think this will all come crashing down in several years. After Star Wars and their Anniversary year, more people will get fed up or priced out of a Disney vacation and we will see discounts return to fill rooms. I will be waiting until then to go back. Just my opinion.
