EUROPA, my point was that they don't charge you MORE through unscrupulous tactics such as "resort fees" or "service fees" (except Pepper Market). If you book a room at the All Stars for $49 a night, you pay that plus tax. No extra parking fees (Universal Resorts) or hidden add-on service charges (Marriot World Center) that you get blindsided with at checkout.
If that was your point then I do understand...but does Universal charge guest for parking? I was not aware of that...I know they do if you park in the Garage or Valet...but to park your own car?
I just don't see how having a rack rate of $77 but charging $49 is "using every means possible to extract as much cash from the customer as they can."
No, I don't ever pay rack rate. And I don't feel ripped off because the rack rate is higher than what I paid. Nor do I feel like I got an exceptional deal. WDW is forced to charge what the customer is willing to pay for hotel rooms. Otherwise, they would sit empty.
You would feel ripped off if you did pay rack rate and did not know there were discounts? The point is really though...77 dollars is not the price of the room, but 49 is the price. Your made to think that you getting a deal when your really not.
