This thread is funny. We are all getting less than what we got before. I stay at DVC properties, but it's still not as good as when the magic kingdom would be open till 1AM with magic hours. And that was just 10 years ago.
One final thought, I imagine Disney will have certain times of the year where they will do promos to encourage bookings at the Values and Mods by extending them the same benefits as the Luxes. Might even happen a lot and certainly cheaper to offer than a free dining plan.
Yep, it's not so much that deluxe resorts get more, it's that people who regularly stay at a mere moderate resort will get less than they used to. I loved those nights where MK was open past midnight. It seems you can't even get that today with an After Hours ticket. When the hours were longer I felt like I could vacation on my own terms more, i.e. sleep in and stay up late if I wanted. Now it feels more that one has to get up early in order to get their money's worth for their day.
I don't love these changes, but I acknowledge that things do need to change sometimes. Evening Magic Hours did need to change. Funneling the majority of gusts to one park each evening just resulted in wait times longer than during the day in some cases, and EMH was often something to avoid rather than attend.
The new early entry benefit has been criticized for being only 30 minutes, but it ultimately lets resort guests get in one major attraction before the park opens, with the flexibility of going to any park, and not having that decision "forced" by only having it at one park. In the past, I've witnessed hundreds of people waiting for a bus to the one early entry park, with the opening time already past. They'd be lucky to get there by regular opening time at that point. I never thought it was worth the stress and hassle. I'm cautiously optimistic about this change.
No one seems to care as much about the deluxe benefits at Universal resorts. Express Pass all day is better than anything Disney offers. There will be an adjustment, but in time people will accept the changes at Disney as the new normal.
I do think Disney should be cautious about giving guests a net negative. My recent trips have been with moderate resorts. If I lose EMH, that's one less reason to stay on property. It's one thing to give deluxe guests more, if they got 4 Fastpasses to my 3 it wouldn't impact or bother me significantly. But here they've taken something away and given nothing in return. It's an overall decline.
My last trip was a split stay with Universal, something I do more and more because the value for money there is just higher. Not that my impact matters, as Disney is busy as ever. I'm critical of some of their changes, but at the end of the day plenty of people are fine with them, so I can understand why they do what they do, even when I dislike it.
We also usually do at least one "paid" event/experience each trip as well -- like an Epcot fireworks cruise. We're covering the salary of a few CMs while we're there.
