Yes its very expensive. But personally I have no problem spending all that money on food if the food is worth it. And for me, its worth every single penny. I've always had phenomenal food there. 
Moving AP to a simple 1TS would almost inevitably signal a drop in quality. As for expense, all Signatures are expensive--heck, overall dining at Disney is costly: $6.50 for an Uncrustables PB&J, $11 for a chili cheese dog, $21 for meatloaf, and the hit list goes on. However, that's one of the expenses for which we plan--generally overpriced food, including Signatures. Still, we don't find AP any more unusually priced than any other Signature. It's apparent lack of appeal has a lot to do with marketing, rather the lack thereof. For too many people, it seems out of the way; for others, they believe that it's nothing but game food (which isn't true, though if it were I'd love it). AP isn't everyone's cup of tea, just as we have certain places that will never see our shadows. I just don't believe that expense alone is what's driving the change at AP.$100/$120 for two aint bad.

Also, I hope they dont change to a 1 TS restaurant. The food quality would take a nose dive no doubt. Or am I just being a pessimist?
It's possible they could be switching AP's locale with WCC; however, such a move again creates issues. First, what of Territory Lounge? It would be sitting right next to a TS aimed at families--I wouldn't care but would others? Moreover, that means TL would no longer be connected to AP which is a soul mate in many regards. Meanwhile, moving AP to a smaller location would be fine logistically, I think, but the locale? Open air to the main Lodge lobby without any real scenery would be its fate, and I don't know that such a location would speak Signature. I always felt WCC was a touch claustrophobic and crowded despite looking out over the lobby. It feels squeezed into the space, though I know it isn't. Further, the move still doesn't quell any rumors regarding AP becoming a character meal. If it were to move, would it become one or would that perhaps make WCC the character meal restaurant on property? It's a conundrum that I'm continuing to watch. . .
No, they could move the lounge as well, then use both spaces for WCC, it would make sense and it would solve the noise issues and hopefully get WCC back to what it used to be.
Let's pray she gets fired for the messes she is making.
THIS is a good idea. Now, both Restaurant spaces would need pretty much a total overhaul. But a true SIG in the current WC space would drastically reduce the noise level, and "move" that noise level into the 3rd floor(?) area of what is now Rental Space.

A hypothetical: If I were going to do this, I would tackle one area at a time. FIRST establish breakfast & lunch at what is now AP. WHY? Because SERIOUS architectural work would need to be performed on the existing WC "space" to cut off lobby noise getting IN, and make that "space" into something new. Betting a good 2 year time frame? Meanwhile - guests need to EAT.
Just me - I totally discount GP as being worth anything more than a pool bar, at this point. What a waste
All personal opinion - I'm not necessarily right, no one else is necessarily wrong.

More than you can imagine, no, there are certain people that should just be fired.
Hey, based on all that I have seen from her, she is in the same company as someone execs at Disneyland and while it sounds harsh, based on all we have seen of her track record, I don't know that anything else would be good. This is a case where I would love to be proven wrong, but she clearly messed things up at the contemporary and pretty much everywhere she has gone, so what can be done? That is why I flat out say fire her, now if for some reason she was given marching orders, fire the person ultimately responsible for said orders, but she takes full credit as the chief person responsible for reunion station, which is a nightmare that never should have happened and that alone is worth her being asked to leave. Yes, it sounds harsh and messed up, but what can you do with someone who refuses to even acknowledge past mistakes, let alone learn from them,
