I'm not sure they were. In a previous post they seem to agree that a tiered ticket price based on time of year was acceptable so I can see them agreeing with FP tiering. But we'll let them clear it up. And this post isn't about FPs so lets not get all DIS and take this off topicAnd I think the poster you were quoting was implying that increased park benefits based on your resort level is a bad idea. Paying a premium for your room does get you something extra - a premium room. Everyone pays the same for park tickets and so should be eligible for the same experience with that ticket. WDW does have a history of differentiating between on and offsite guest ticket perks (EMH, FP booking times), but, up to this point has not really done so between different resort levels of onsite guests, outside of CL benefits. While we stay deluxe via rented DVC points and so would likely benefit from tiered FP levels, I hope they don't decide to go this route.
I am against the tiered ticket pricing based on time of the year travel. Its a way to squeeze more money out of people, most of whom are families who can only travel when school is out. Its not like they are going to lower the price during September. They'll simply increase the prices in the summer. MK will still be $105 a day in the off season. All while cutting back on free dining/room discounts which as a pp said was their way of attracting people during the slower times of the year.
