To me, it’s not just the added cost, it is the loss of an on-site benefit. When comparing two hotels, I *did* factor in the parking costs, because that can be (and now will be) a major expense. We stayed off-site our first few years of going. But when we could finally fit into a resort room (because oldest DS went to college), the free parking and 60 day FP+ booking are what sold me for staying on-site.
I will be writing Disney Guest Relations, and I will let them know that when people come to me asking for advice about planning their Disney vacations, I will make sure they know that there are plenty of off-site hotels that offer 60-day FP+ booking and deals for free parking/no resort fees. I will be discouraging people from staying on-site because it just isn’t worth it.
Isn’t it funny how different people have different “tipping points” for what gets them upset? Ticket prices for some; up-sells for others; this one happens to have set me on edge...and I’m DVC.
