It’s really not comparing apples to apples. The RC cabin was way inferior to the DCL cabin and we had it for a shorter time. We usually don’t want or NEED 2 cabins on DCL.
Going from 214 to 150 sq ft almost required us to get 2. That is 30% less space. Also since they barely discount children there wasnt much reason to cram in one room.
Let’s just say we had chosen the $200 savings and stayed in one cabin. The total would have been $4040.
For a 5 nt cruise that is $808 per night for a smaller inside cabin.
7 nights in the Disney cabin = $567 per night for a window cabin. And this was a major holiday week!
Since it would have been miserable in a tiny room and we were already being gouged, we paid slightly more, $848/nt, to have a livable amount of space. Even then, 2 RC cabins COMBINED is only 28% more space than
one window cabin on Disney, not 100% more. So yes we had a little bit more space than we were used to having, but it’s not double the space. And no window.
Disney cabins are very much meant for families. A family with 2 children can fit comfortably in one room. We did it for years until they became teens.
Anyway, one thing we can agree on is that DCL prices have increased a lot in 10 yrs. Still, we try to always book the first day of release and use the onboard booking discount to keep it as low as possible. We also get $400 in onboard credits per cabin: $200 from Disney and $200 from our TA which helps. If we don’t spend it all we can buy a Disney gift card onboard to use up the credits and apply to the next cruise.
It’s not cheap so if you would be just as happy on another line, then do what works for you.
