The solution would be to add more park hours, run rides at full capacity, maintain the rides so that they don't break down (they had plenty of time to do this when the parks were closed due to covid) and add a 5th park. All of those things combined would help.
You have quite a few assumptions built into your view - one being - that full employee capacity is being controlled as a cost cutting function - not sure I agree given that current unemployment in the Orlando area is almost back to pre-pandemic levels (Feb 2020 @2.5 / Mar 2022 @2.9), but I don't have the real data or insight to support what Disney may or may not be doing purposefully.
I'm part of the middle-class world. I would probably answer yes to the questions in pp survey, but in reality, I only look at price and quality when I'm shopping. I may be wrong, but I think that's how the majority of people shop.
It affects people that used EMH and stay in value resorts. I've always stayed deluxe and have never done an EMH. I didn't even know they changed it until I read it on this thread. I leave in 10 days I should probably start researching all the changes. Have I mentioned how much I'm looking forward to Universal?
Sometimes it's about other people too. You don't have to be a person who even stays at Value to feel a certain way. As far as affecting as a first time guest of course it can, why would you say that?
Perhaps I should have clarified-I meant the usual first time guest would have no idea that this perk was now missing and therefore wouldn't miss it or care. I sense you're annoyed with me, and I don't know why. I'm not selfish or self-centered, just stating my personal opinion, which of course doesn't affect yours-or anyone else's. You enjoy that trip on the Hogwarts Express.Sometimes it's about other people too. You don't have to be a person who even stays at Value to feel a certain way.

Obviously you and I have differing opinions about treatment of guests. In any case I'm off to enjoy my ride on Hogwarts Express. Have a good day
I don’t think the ticket prices are the issue.
Everyone pays the same for the park tickets. Deluxe perks should be had AT the resort.
That was part of my point about saying priorities and then talking about removing from the other resorts. It's not just Values, it's Mods they removed it from. The prices Disney has charged for their rooms is really more its own league. Dropping 10k is also not something I would be boasting (well you get what I mean not quite boasting but like "I'm paying this much" kind of mentality about because that's absolutely crazy talk (meaning the prices they charge are crazy talk).
From $259 per night, Friday and Saturday
Two-night minimum stay required; Restricted dates may apply
And what precisely would those perks look like aside from something like priority ADRs
I disagree with you. Some issues are worth fighting for. I just don’t think boycotts are the way to go.
Not as astounding as the inflation of food and gas prices. At least people can live without Disney tickets and trust me they will. Its just a matter of time.
10k? You should visit the budget board where people are spending 20-30k. They need to change the name to the no-budget board.
To be fair, that decision was always being made. Disney vacations weren't ever at the bottom of the scale, there was no way my family could afford them annually growing up.
Definitely good point, I was just going off of several comments in terms of prices thrown out.
