Yes. I was just checking out Disney hotel rates since they sent me a discount code. I haven't stayed there since 2015, though I've visited their parks while staying at Universal's way better priced resorts. Wow, I got sticker shock looking at the present Disney rates. Their moderates, that aren't really that special (they're equal or less than Universal Values in amenities & room decor ), were more than I pay for a deluxe resort Portofino with Express. Tremendous increases from just a couple of years ago. Guess I'll continue staying at Universal for the whole vacations and just do a day trip or a few to WDW, if any.
Find a Boardwalk DVC Owner and stay in a “slower” season and rent points @ $16/pt- will be $160/night for a standard view at boardwalk. Or worst case find an OKW/SSR Owner and pay $14/pt for an animal kingdom standard view at $140/night.
Outside of that- most are way overpriced. I’m so happy I bought into DVC when I did several years ago. Couldn’t fathom staying at Disney otherwise with their current rates.
