There's no way this hotel will be priced higher than a comparable on-site Disney resort. There are three basic reasons why people who are going to Disney stay off site: 1) price, 2) Disney resorts are sold out, or 3) existing relationships with a hotel loyalty program like Marriott Rewards.

Personally, I think attaching the term "resort" to this hotel is crazy. Here's an aerial photo:

The hotel is the long structure at the top of the photo. The pool is in the light colored area under it. None of the other buildings belong to the hotel. The building next to the pool is one of those tacky tourist gift shops that advertise "3 t-shirts for $15". The green space at the top of the photo is not part of the hotel, either.

The little pond with the fountain near the bottom right of the photo is the entrance to the Hyatt Grand Cypress. That's a real resort.
