I love Disney but the costs have become burdensome to our family. We used to stay at Deluxe Resorts using the Magical express to and from them. Just prior to the pandemic a deluxe night cost less than any current moderate resort stay. We went with the flow and downgraded to stay in a few moderate resorts but found then in need of refurbrishment. We tried the discounted DVC Deluxe resort bookings but they didn’t fit our timeline. Now as of late we are happily staying OFF property and in love with having Deluxe suite accommodations while paying less than a simple room at any Disney Value Resort. We use a car share service for our vacation priced hundreds less than car rentals at MCO. Yes, we have to drive to the parks daily, (12-18 minutes), but do not have to stand and wait for a crowded bus where you may need to stand the entire trip. Now we are back to spending so much less on our semi-annual Disney vacations including Disney meals and transportation pay LESS than when we stayed at Deluxe Resorts before Disney priced themselves out of middle class budgets. There are so many pristine timeshare resorts that save folks money vs paying for just a Disney room.
