Yes
I do think they are pricing themselves out for repeat visitors.
But make no mistake the parks are packed with people.
Will they return after a less than *Magic* holiday,, my guess is NO,,, and it will take Disney and their coin tossers a few years to appreciate repeat customers again.
People are making choices about where they stay and often choosing off site.
Many offsite have things like hot tubs, poolside entertainment, lazy river, breakfast included,
and much cheaper food options. Some even offer Airport transportation.
People are now looking at paying for round trip transportation to and from MCO.
(( Something that was included before))
Even Extra Evening Magic Hours are now a upcharge. (They have to be booked and prepaid in advance).
(( something that was included before))
Just maybe me but I am not willing to double pay (Genie&
Genie+ and Lightning Lanes) when I've already paid a hefty Park entrance fee to begin with.
(( something that was included before))
Plus I am not staring at a phone on holidays when I should be enjoying myself.
Families are now choosing to head to alternative entertainment ,,Legoland ,,( Busch Gardens) ,,
Sea World , Discovery Cove, Kennedy Space Centre , Beach trip, and my New favorite Universal Orlando.
