I can actually agree with you that it's their business decision to make. It can often be the case that it is an appropriate business decision to breach a contract. But I took issue with the suggestion that under contract law, a refund is all that is required, when that is not true under the language of the contract, and the remedies available under contract law. As a legal nerd, I can't resist actually looking at what the contract requires. Disney can cut fireworks, close rides, or require temperature screenings, but what they can't do is change a package unilaterally by taking away the included cost of dining onsite without offering adequate compensation, any more than I can't unilaterally add days to my package reservation without paying more.
I just tucked my sons in to bed though, one one of them told me that every night, before he goes to sleep he imagines he is at Disney World with me so he won't be scared of the dark. So I am sucking it up and keeping my reservation.
It is funny because when it first came out we had posters here who were upset that Disney was going to offer nothing and people would be forced to rebook at rack rate.
Then they came out with 35% Sounds like your argument is that they should have just canceled people vs offering them an alternative?
But, it’s still in guests hands, and sometimes, as you said, you make decisions to accept the new offer because of other reasons.
