Agree completely. On my last trip we went to ESPN and a dinner consisting of at best fair burgers (Pecos Bills would have been better) and dropped just shy of $100 including 18% tip. Service like the food was at best adequate. I felt ripped off.Well, I define a ripoff when you are promised something have a reasonable expectation of something at a given price, and then that something does not live up to your expectations.
Like when you pay $5 extra to see the sideshow at the carnival, and all it is, is a guy lifting up empty car battery shells with his nipple rings.
or
When you book a hotel on line and it looks like a great deal for the price, but then when you get there, your balcony opens onto the blank wall of the next building 3 feet away, which serves as a highway for palmetto bugs.
I have been to WDW enough to know what it costs and what I am going to get. SO in that sense it is not a ripoff. However, as of late, it is continuing to go up in price and down in value. Push it far enough, and I may decide to stop going.

The following morning I went to WCC had an incredible breakfast with unbelievable service and spent about $110 including 40% tip. I felt like I got over on them.
