These wait times will wreck the child's experience. It hurts the brand. Disney isn't BP. It isn't Monsanto. Raise prices and give less wasn't Walt's vision. It's time for them to pony-up if they want to raise prices. Not doing so is exceedingly shortsighted.

I agree with this 100%. Bu this is very different than saying that they have an obligation to provide a good experience or clean park or anything. What you are saying here is basically the same as what I said. They will do all these things because it is good for business.
We'll have to wait and see if the way that they are currently running things is going to hurt their business or not. I say that people will keep coming and will keep returning.
As you showed in another post, they are up 2.2% this year. Lests see if they go up next year. If business stops expanding, I'm sure you'll see changes.
