Comparing Apple and Disneyland is completely nonsensical. Apple can supply a phone for every person who wants one and is willing to pay. Disneyland simply cannot make tickets available to every single family who wants to attend. Disneyland is a limited resource, whereas iPhones are not.
One thing that rarely seems to get mentioned in these discussions is demographics. California in 1970 had a population of approximately 20 million people. That number is now approximately 40 million people. Factor in the growth in every other State (and the world as a whole), it is very easy to see that the good old days of relatively affordable prices and moderate crowds are never coming back.
Disneyland has 2 options:
(1) Make it affordable for everyone and accept that all visitors will be faced with overcrowding 365 days a year; or
(2) Purposely discourage some fans from attendance by high prices that may alleviate overcrowding.
It's actually a very difficult position to be in. Either way Disneyland will alienate a huge chunk of people. (1) Keep it affordable and alienate most, if not all, visitors who come from all over the country/world to experience "the Happiest Place on Earth" and discover it is like living through a plague of locusts. (2) Continue to drive up prices and alienate many many fans who are of moderate means.
The only realistic option is #2. You can either alienate EVERYBODY, or alienate some. Yes, it's unfortunate that many middle class families cannot now or will not in the future be able to afford to visit, but until they build more parks in different areas of the country there is really no way to avoid this reality.
Getting mad at those greedy jerks at Disney for taking away a piece of the American Dream from many families is not only a waste of time, it's actually mostly false. No, we should not feel sorry for Disney or assume they have all our best interests at heart. Disney is a huge corporation whose main purpose is to make money. That being the case, its absolutely NOT in Disney's best interest to alienate families. Those families not only attend the parks, they also buy merchandise, watch the movies, etc. If Disneyland could accept every visitor who wanted to come and spend money at the parks, they would. The obvious reality is they cannot physically do so. So, unfortunately, some will be priced out.
