Disney accommodation increase

Looking at disney accommodation for march 2021 and getting price well over what we normally pay.
Did a comparison with year on year sept 20 and sept 21 for all stars music resort and yes its £560 more expensive with like for like rooms.
is this
1. because Disney normally increase the prices prior to releasing the free ddp to make it look like its a free offer when really its £560 more than usual ( I know the value resorts get the free breakfast that can be used anytime of the day a 1x qs)

2. to gauge the market to see what demand will be like and help claw back some of the lost revenue during the closure

3. because numbers at the parks will be limited due to social distancing people staying at disney accommodation will get priority access to the parks whereas people staying offsite will have limited access

4. all of the above

They have an annual increase which has been getting bigger each year. Disney anticipated a busy year next year so knew they could get away with a big increase. It’s nothing to do with Covid and nothing to do with free dining.

I have been looking this morning and finding the pricing ridiculous, so much so I'm not sure I can justify paying those prices

Yes, prices are higher this year but there were plenty of threads pre-Covid which were saying 5-20% but not 50%. What you’re probably seeing is a combo of a resort where there’s refurb going on during the time you want to book in Sept, and that sept 2020 is much closer and so they know what bookings they already have in plus a desire to get cash flow. So the 2020 price is probably artificially low.

Ridiculous price for a motel in September. Can get a decent offsite hotel for $60 a night

when you used to get free parking at the theme parks and hotels this could offset some of the higher costs but not any longer

These price rises are ridiculous.

This is why I bought DVC. To hedge against these prices.

Back in 2016 you could get a 150 point resale contract for under $10000 which then gets you a studio in DVC deluxe for around $80 a night in ‘dues cost’ for around 10 nights a year for nearly 40 years with a healthy profit on rentals if you don’t want to use it and have been able to sell it for a good profit.

Prices have gone up since then but they have come down a bit recently.

Not for everyone but may work for some- particularly if you go every year and resale prices depress down a bit further.

Not worth it though if you are happy staying in value or moderate, only if you’d really like to stay in deluxe. Also research a lot before considering.

Ironically, the more it costs cash, the more parking charges etc (DVC don’t pay), the more valuable DVC gets.
