Beginning Oct. 1, onsite guests and guests of selected offsite hotels will have 30 minutes of early access in every park, every day. That's about the only perk that I can think of for all onsite guests and even that is not limited to only Disney Resort guests.With fast passes and early entry gone and having to pay for magic bands, is transportation the only perk left of staying onsite?
I think the Disney Resorts have ALWAYS been mainly for Bubble People like us who ADORE never leaving the "Disney Feel".
Even with AM EMH,PM EMH,etc. that was not enough of a "draw" for us to pay more for a Disney Resort than we could off-property-it was the Disney Bubble that we paid for then and pay for now.
If we weren't so "enamored" with the Disney Bubble,NO WAY would we pay the on-property prices.
But it is what it is for us-we would cut down on the number of our trips before staying off-property.
You get the extra bonus of paying for parking. Plus waiting a long time for a bus at various hotels.
We have a winner.Staying onsite allows one to experience the wonders of a home equity loan?
We do enjoy relaxing at the resort, but we also used to love when we could get our annual pass AND could park hop as we desired. Right now , not so much! Fingers crossed Disney will allow this again someday. I really don't mind planning ahead , but all these restrictions and removal of perks does make it harder to enjoy the bubble!We stay in the bubble to feel part of the Disney community. If we don’t want to go to the park and just hit the hotel bars, boardwalk or the pool, we can. If I want to step out of the YC/BC and walk to HS or Epcot we can. I don’t need to wait for any transportation to take me anywhere. So major convenient, is why we stay at Disney
LOL !!! Thats so true....... They keep taking things away and raising the prices and a lot of people are good with that.... Really dont understand Get less Pay more !!!Staying onsite allows one to experience the wonders of a home equity loan?
We tried the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress this trip, OMG it was awesome. The pool was great, a hop, skip and jump from the Disney gate. Huge room and bathroom, Balcony to watch fireworks. All for the cost of $125.00 a night plus tax and resort fee. So worth it. My husband said, why do we stay in Disney for more money and a smaller room? We found our new place.
