Well my post was the one you quoted when you said something to the effect of, "People used to discuss how Disney didn't have value options for families of 5+ and now they have ASMu and AoA suites and people still aren't happy." I'm just explaining why I'm still not happy, lol. (Disney's value suite options have been around since we became a family of 5, anyway.) But since this is a thread about "Things we wish Disney resorts have," I still say I wish they had more affordable suite options because I feel they are not "value" priced. My opinion. You feel they are priced right, and you have a right to your opinion.These are things that you value most in a vacation and for that I can understand spending a little more to get it. For some families it's a different story. Some are families of 6, not 5, and they can't fit in a deluxe room or a POR room. Some value having the kitchenette to be able to save money on food expenses. Having a second bathroom can be a huge difference maker for some families. And some value having a second room so that they can put the kids to bed, shut the door and have a little bit of time alone. The balconies at the deluxes are nice, but there are some things you just cannot do on them...like watch television. As you said in your previous reply to me, different strokes.
Oh, and some people just really like the Value Resorts. Not me, but different strokes..ya know?
Disney is not going to drop the price on those suites because some people think the price is ridiculous. There are plenty of people who think it makes sense. Disney could just as easily made a "guaranteed connecting rooms" category at the Value Resorts and in true Disney fashion, charged a little more for them. They didn't. But as long as the family suites are filling at the price that Disney charges in spite of the crazy makeshift beds and lower occupancy limit, Disney is going to charge the rate of 2 rooms +.
I suspect I'm not the only one who feels this way though, because they seem to always have availability and they are almost always included in discounts.
