To avoid the trash that seems to be at WDW we would pay any price. We typically do GF CL when we go, but we cannot avoid the trash interaction.
Do you pack your own ascot or does Buffy do it?

I don't think it would even take a 5th gate, just some new attractions. And to be fair they are working on it, however slowly. A big part of the problem right now is that only one park is really worth a full day for most families, while the other parks lack enough attractions to disperse the crowds. Just in the past week I've seen reports of 200 minute waits at Tower of Terror because Rock N Roller Coaster was down, heard Epcot described as "shopping and dining with a hundred dollar cover charge", and read the advice that Animal Kingdom can be done in 3-4 hours. Is it any wonder that wait times are an issue when Studios has only 5 rides and several of Epcot's pavilions are aging and/or standing empty?
I do still enjoy Disney, but we've reached the point where paying more to get less is no longer something we're willing to swallow. I'm glad we had our "Disney phase" when the kids were younger, but now they're getting older there are more alternatives competing for our vacation time and money and Disney just doesn't measure up to other experiences any more. We used to go just because it was where we wanted to go; now we go for specific/special events and take our big family vacations elsewhere.
I just don't like all the trash that seems to be at the parks anymore. And like I do in my "normal" life I would pay a premium to avoid it.
Curious about what you mean by trash?
People have always been able to pay a premium and hire a guide CM at the parks to take them through lines, etc. I think it is something like $300 per hour?
Over the last few years it seems that trashier people have started to takeover the parks. These are the loud and obnoxious people that do as they please with no regard to others. They typically make a huge mess, curse in front of children, scream 'Merica at people, etc...
Please don't feed the troll. It will go away if you ignore it.Takeover the parks? You don't think that is an exaggeration?
There are rude, obnoxious people everywhere, WDW is no exception.
I'm not sure of the answer but I can tell you this, I feel bad for those that try.Let me ask this: What percentage of guests do you estimate go to WDW and fly by the seat of their pants rather than plan and schedule every day of their trip?
There's a very good article by Len Testa on Touring Plans .com.
He does offer some pro-price tiering observations but the general feeling that I get is that he is very much against the plan as it was presented in the survey. I find his breakdown of the cost increase very alarming! A 90% increase over the current gate price for a 9-day ticket when you purchase a "gold" level pass is just insane!

Funny, the same could be said for people at the other end of the financial spectrum. Those that feel that they have the right to be there becuase they have money and nobody else should be interfering with their trip. Kind of like the people that hired handicapped tour guides to gain front of the line access. Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Money does not equal class. I'd provide an example, but the family I'm thinking about already has enough exposure and I'm doing my part in never speaking their name in hopes that one day they will just go away.
