You're making a number of unfounded (and insulting) assumptions about the way we travel and spend our vacations.
We're not WDW APs, nor are we a cadre of uneducated rubes who galivant around the globe without doing months of research into every destination and its customs and culture. I love visiting WDW -- what I was complaining about was the increased level of planning it requires, not the parks.
Our WDW trips are few and far between, and we want to do everything while we're there without standing in long lines, because we appreciate that our vacation time is valuable -- something that Disney makes harder for us every time, but so far we've always been able to accomplish. That means that for a Disney trip, every step of every touring plan -- every attraction, every meal, every hour of every day -- is planned in detail, with back-up plans to cover all eventualities (e.g., arriving at a park to find our first intended attraction is down), and give us flexibility whenever we want to divert from the plan. The planning begins more than a year ahead of time, when we're requesting vacation time at work, choosing dates and hotels, and doing initial booking of our air travel and resort, and then continues on a prodigiously frequent basis thereafter, as we keep up with discounts that can be applied, take note of changes in park hours, EE/EEH, ticket usage rules, virtual queues, changes to the roster of G+/ILL attractions, construction, refurbs, new restaurants, menu changes, ticket price increases, dining reservation rule changes, ground transportation pricing fluctuations, the impact of G+ on standby lines for crowds of different levels, etc.
As a more frequent visitor who perhaps isn't trying to do everything with a short wait every time you go to WDW, and who thus has an easier time keeping abreast of changes between trips, obviously the amount of planning for you is significantly less. That doesn't make my experience, or my feelings about it, any less valuable than yours.
