The problem is that the MK has more guests than it needs. People here complain all the time about the massive year round crowds at the MK. Disney has tried multiple things to reduce its popularity with shoddy attractions such as CBJ and Stitch's Great Escape. They've let the overall physical plant of the MK deteriorate with poor maintenance. The monorail has been allowed to degrade to the point that the doors fly open while the trains are in motion. The ticket prices and special event prices have soared to new highs. Yet the guests just keep on increasing at a rapid pace.And the problem is that once you pass that point, its a lot harder to win back that loyalty. Disney is walking a slippery slope.
Hopefully with the new resort parking fees and the soon to be implemented resort fees, it will slow down and reduce the ever expanding crowds. And of course, the DVC sales pitch will get easier too. It's a good way to control their visitation and make a significant profit at the same time. Sounds like a win, win to me
