Back to econ 101 - the rule of decreasing returns. I think that WDW is suffering this in my opinion. While I definitely understand that it is the exec's jobs to make the most money they can, they do so at a cost to their customers. Someday, it may come back to bite them.
For instance, as the parks get more crowded (and the CMs are not appropriately staffed to address those crowds), a number of people will get turned off and use their vacation time and dollars in different ways. Now, the Disney parks marketing machine may be able to replace those people with others, but it may not long term.
I feel that I am moving in this direction (of moving on to other destinations). I get very limited vacation time (and work a lot while I'm on vacation). I hate wall to wall crowds (I get massive anxiety around them) and my DH hates the heat. And we are tied to a school schedule with high schoolers who can't miss school any more for the next 7 years. And on principal, I hate paying more year after year for a substantially decreased park experience.
The fix of taking a break at the resort doesn't really "work" for me because when I actually get to WDW, I want to be experiencing the parks, not a resort pool lounge chair. That isn't what I'm paying large amounts of money for. And we did this during our trip to DL in Nov 2016, only to return to DL to wall to wall, couldn't move an inch, level of people each night. So the strategy was a big fail.
That said, I am looking forward to our trip in April. I booked it knowing it would be crazy busy due to Easter, but also thinking that it will be our last trip for a number of years. I'm trying to make the best of it.
