Should there be more benefits for people staying at better resorts?

No they don't have any reason to be upset, they choose to stay at POP and not POLY. THe Gold FP as I call it would be one use for each attraction and then you can use the regualr FP. It's like if I were to buy A 80K Lexus I would expect it to come with more features than a 40K Toyota.

I agree with this as well.

No, and that sense of even more entitlement is disturbing.

I would say yes, but not if it comes at the expense of other guests. Improved access to FP or ADRs would fall into this category and should therefore be verboten as far as I'm concerned.
On the other hand, better in-room amenities or transportation (maybe more frequent buses for example), I say sure.
The bottom line is that the financial benefit has to go to whomever is providing the perk. Since you're paying Disney, not the other guests, you are only entitled to something Disney provides. You can't expect Disney to take something away from other guests and give it to you because you paid more. They're not the federal government.
I'd also like to point out that you said that what you get is is worth every penny that you pay. That by definition means that you're already getting enough "extras" for your Deluxe resort dollar to justify the higher price.
PS - I voted no because of how you worded your query. Better ADR and FP access are not things Disney could provide without taking them from other guests who'd already paid for them, and therefore it's not legitimate to offer them as perks to Deluxe resort guests, IMHO.

wow! I sense much jealousy with communist overtones here.
What is wrong with paying more for more services? Isn't that what all the behind the scene tours are about. Isn't EMH the same? Just because you are staying on-site why do YOU get extra magic hours? I paid the same for my park ticket. It's not fair!
Well, it is fair because the on-site visitor is giving more money to Disney.
Let's face it - Disney makes higher margins catering to the Jimmy Thicks of the world than the masses. I have no problem with that.

I just don't see it as this at all. If I am paying a hell of a lot more because I don't want to stay in a glorified Motel 6 then why shouldn't I get more for my money?
But should you get free tolls or maybe your own lane on the highway with that 80k Lexus? What you are doing is trying to extend the benefits of a product past the product. The parks are a separate entity for the resorts and the benefits from one should not translate to the other.

So you are against EMH then I suppose?
If it was every day at every park I would. In it current incarnation it can be avoided so while it is an in park resort perk it does not drastically effect the in park experiences for someone in for the day or staying off property. It is also consistent across all resort levels. (ie a deluxe resort guest can not get in earlier or stay later than a value resort guest.)

You should get more for your money, and as I outlined in my previous post the benefits at the deluxe resorts are numerous and for the top packages those benefits extend beyond the resorts, but they should not extend to the parks.

I don't think this is what people, including myself, are saying. I think people's angst is based on the tone of the question. Am I jealous that AIG and many other banks were bailed out with my tax dollars and the people that caused it are getting $16B in bonuses that the average bonus amounts to more money than the average American will make in their life time? Yes. I think these people should be put in front of a firing squad of people they screwed over, took their homes, and are now purchasing them privately from their banks for pennies on the dollar.
I interpreted the tone of the question as how much more can the Have's get than the Have-not's have no access. I agree there should be perks available to everyone as long as it is available for everyone to add as a perk to their vacation. An example would be an All-Day Fast Pass. For Deluxe guests, they could charge $25 additional per person per day. For Values, they could charge $35 additional per person per day. This way, there is no segregation.
All I know is if an perk was provided to one tier of resort guests without it being completely documented and advertised, this would open up WDW to massive lawsuits that they would not want to face.

I agree with you.
And like I purposed to Figment do you think you should receive a special 80k Lexus only lane on the highway as well? Like Figment you are trying to extend the benefits of a product past the product.
No, all I'm saying is, if I purchase a premium vacation, which anyone can do but some might have to save for it, should I get a little more beyond the ambiance of the deluxe resort.
Yes deluxe resorts have all kinds of things that if you don't stay there chances are you don't know about them that makes them more "magical", but what is wrong with wanting more, like taking the premium to the parks as well?
Do you really think Disney has not thought of this? Do you honestly think if something like that was not available, people would not jump at the chance?
It's a fantastic concept, and I would strongly approve it.

You are already paying more for the resort. Why should it extend farther than that?
Not really.
Pop and the others can easily be topped in both amenities and price by some Hotels on I-Drive and the surrounding area.

I don't get it if I am willing to pay whatever price DIsney decided to charge what is wrong with that? It is not like it is free I would be paying for it.
