Agree with everyone's posts here...
... and I understand where the OP is coming from.
Obviously Disney won't reduce prices if there's still enough demand at current rates, but
I think there's a serious risk of Disney causing damage to their brand at these prices with the level of "Skimpflation" going on right now. Even die-hard Disney super fans are having second thoughts about the value proposition Disney is offering (there are a couple of threads on this board with people expressing their frustrations).
We first went as a family 16 years ago. It was going to be a one-and-done big trip, to check off the WDW bucket list box. I was so stressed out about how much the trip was costing me before we went... on the flight home all I could think about was how soon we could afford to go back. The service, the "magic", the family memories... made it a strong value to me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who planned to go once and had since been back multiple times.
Last time we were there was fall of 2019, and I felt the value/price wasn't the same. Prices seem to have outpaced inflation, parks seemed a lot more crowded, our
MNSSHP was "packed", and food/service seemed to decline... I also lost count of how many rides we went on that got backed up or stalled (I remember being bumped around in our boat on POTC stuck in a backlog thinking about how that felt more like six flags than WDW)
And, Covid didn't help - I think people going now are aware that it's not the full experience, but it's enough of an experience for them to get their "Disney fix"... and possibly to help support the place they love. That said, some
people new to Disney (planning their first trip) might have different expectations and I question if there's enough magic there right now to emotionally tie them into coming back to Disney, like what happened to me so many years ago.
We've been planning a trip for early summer 2022, and I'm honestly having trouble getting excited about it (will Tron be done, will I be cleaning my own room, will the super friendly CM's be there, will there be the extra "magic" I experienced years ago?)
