I don't think that Disney wants to keep crowds down. They want to keep the parks as crowded as they can with the prices as high as they can keep them. Rake in that dough and I don't blame them. If people are willing to pay, why not??
Personally I won't go to Disney unless I get to do Disney the way I want to do Disney within MY BUDGET. Which for me is to stay onsite, for at least 7-10 days, at least a few TS meals ( I refuse to pack food), park hoppers, the FP+ I want, transportation (I refuse to drive on vacation) longer park hours and not during a party season (I went the first week of November and to the first
MVMCP last year and left two days after so a great week with only two parties). I like the all inclusive feel of staying on Disney property, not having to drive, scanning my MB, etc. We are every 3 years or so visitors so when we go we spend a pretty penny. We do an extra or two, buy souvenirs, eat TS, stay onsite, buy lots of snacks, etc. So I think we are a "target" vacationer for Disney because we do spend. We aren't "once in a lifetime" visitors but we aren't the ones who go multiple times a year on an AP and don't spend in the parks.
If I can't have what I want on a Disney vacation (or any vacation for that matter) we go elsewhere. There are so many other places where I feel I get much more value for my money. Don't get me wrong, I love Disney but there are a million other beautiful places in the world to see and we go and see them. I would like to go back to Disney in 3-4 years but it won't happen until all of the stars align. In the meantime we have Puerto Rico, Cancun and Italy planned at cheaper prices than a week at Disney.
