Disney still gets the same amount of money, but has a savings in operating costs and expenses due to the lower amount of APs dropping in on Friday nights or Sunday afternoons.
The place is too crowded, and there's no longer an off season short of a rainy weekday in January. They had to do something, and raising prices for a quality product in high demand is how a Capitalist society deals with the need to "do something". |
