I’ve seen a lot of comments about the reduced experience at the resort hotels (no house keeping, no Extra Magic Hour, etc.). We’re staying onsite for the first time in June, and the “newness” of the experience makes it worthwhile for us, but I have to admit that if this wasn’t a new experience for us I’d probably feel the same as many of you and stay at a cheaper hotel near by.
The one major “perk” right now seems to be the apparently bottomless hotel bucket for park reservations. To me, if Disney were smart, they would be more open about this “hotel perk”, and advertise that hotel guests have open access to the parks. They could even do one better, and allow park hopping all day for hotel guests with park hopper tickets. No need to increase staff for housekeeping or Extra Magic Hour, just utilize and maximize a system that seems to already be in place.
