Ya think?!
Seriously though, at $30 a night, plus 4 beds at $4 each, that's already $46.
Then you still need to bring blankets and pillows and you won't have a TV.
Then there's the need bring stoves, fuel, food, dinnerware, and a cooler (plus keep it iced), otherwise, you're not going to save any money on meals, which is one of the reasons to camp. You'll also need lighting sources. If you go electric, you'll need extension cords. Lanterns? Back to fuel. And you might as well bring a TV.
Camping's fun. Disney's fun. Camping at Disney might be fun, but it doesn't make sense because you're going to have all the extra concerns of camping competing for time in the parks.
And if it's raining every day (like it will in the summer) you don't want to be in a 12 x 10 tent, no matter where you are.
I'd do the value resort, given a choice.
