DaveInTN 3,247 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 This seems consistent with the rumors about the Meadows area becoming the primary focus and central "heart" of the Fort, and the Settlement shifting focus toward the new resort. And being Disney, you gotta pay for that proximity. No different than 100 and 200 being considered preferred solely due to proximity to the Settlement, even though they are actually tight, cramped loops. I wonder if additional amenities are coming to the Meadows, or if this is just a case of marketing. Tell the folks this is where they want to be, and they'll come.

So... if the new focus of the resort is the Meadows, does that mean 100-300 are no longer "preferred" and therefore cheaper??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Given the fact that Reflections will be half DVC and half normal resort, I wonder if there will be a move to remove more cabins and create additional full hookup loops like 2100. More available loops may make more categories make more sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it depends how much the settlement is shifting to the new resort. If they go as far as labeling part of the new resort I would be surprised if the Meadows didn't get a new restaurant. Given that they can't really call the cabins moderates without a table service restaurant on site. Assuming the cabins don't move that is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 If they are shifting focus to the Meadows are they going to ruin it with more car and cart parking? I also suspect we won't be staying in the 1300 loop once it gets its Premium Meadow Campsite designation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 We like the 900 loop but I won't be paying extra to stay there. Something tells me that premium sites will be a lot easier to book, though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Premium Meadow Campsite Proximity to Meadow Trading Post, Meadow Recreation Area, Bike Barn and Campfire Area Are we taking bets? I'm guessing... the "slow" season will be $225/night with topping out around $275/night. I just saw someone comment on FB, that $480/night was a "deal" for a cabin rental. Mercy... we haven't stayed at a resort in years, but $480/night is a "deal"? I'm sorry, but that's just crazy. No wonder 2 or 3 families try to smoosh in there.

I love FW, but I don't love it $250 per night worth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stayed in a cabin for Thanksgiving 2 years ago, and it wasn't far off that. Unfortunately it's comparable to the other 6 person suites on property price wise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it's for that once in a lifetime experience. I don't know. We stayed in one a long time ago (10 years) and I want to say we paid $120-$140/night. We only stayed 2 nights because it was so expensive... but we did enjoy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 It seems like all of Disney is becoming "If you have to ask the price you can't afford it" type of place. They are really catering to the big spenders and pushing the middle class out. We went to Busch Gardens after work last night just to get a beer, catch a show and walk around. Yeah, I know it's not DISNEY. Their prices while high are still a lot less than anything comparable at Disney. We had a fathers day buffet there Sunday, it was $19.99, nice view, got a free 16 oz beer for being a dad, then we got 10% off with our pass. They have an all day dining deal $33 with our AP discount, you can get a meal every hour, all the bottled waters and sodas you want, and BOGO on snacks all day long. And an adult can can get the kids menus for $16 if you don't want to eat as much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted June 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 He highest price I see for a Premium site is at Christmas for $203 before tax. When things were glitching earlier I got a peak at the pricing calendar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I saw Santa post (on FB) about the 600 loop getting more expensive... so I thought they were doing improvements/upgrades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't know that our family will ever be able to afford going inside the gates again. Even just a basic 3 day ticket on UT for us to go this fall, is over $1300. I mean, that's just crazy. All that money, to fight the crowds. Wow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I love how the Mouse is able to create demand, thereby justifying higher pricing, simply by giving something a different name. They could probably create a new category for the 2000 loop called "Cultural Exchange and Excessive Refreshment Campsites" and charge 25% more.
