I recently received a survey email from Disney about my "upcoming" resort stay in May 2022. They survey included questions about whether I was aware of the "perks" of staying a WDW resort ie. early park entry, etc. Also inquired whether I knew that Magic Express would be expiring at end of year. While I did note that I was fully aware of such perks and recent changes, I also indicated that I will cancel my May 2022 trip, and book elsewhere because many attractions and services that remain closed or limited/modified and it is not reflected in cost. I also noted that in addition to limited and modified experiences I am now being charged for a service that was previously included in cost (Fast Pass + Vs Genie +), so as a result I'm cancelling my reservation, and I'm going elsewhere. I recognize that some things may improve by then, but there's no guarantee they will. I'd rather go somewhere where I know what I'm getting for my money, and where I don't feel taken advantage of. We have a Fall 2022 trip planned and I'm hoping that more experiences will be back to normal by then.
Fortunately, I fall into the category of still being able to afford a Disney Vacation for my family. Just because we have the money, I don't appreciate being taken advantage of. We did travel to Disney in late Spring 2021, we had a great time! Experiences and services were limited, but the price we paid for tickets and to stay at a deluxe resort fairly reflected that! We went all out in 2019 and it cost a pretty penny; we had an amazing time (first trip with our little ones), but looking back there was SO much more included in our base price (magic bands, ME, character meet and greets, autographs, FP+, daily mousekeeping etc etc etc). I don't mind shelling out the money, but it has be worth it, and right now, eh, it's just not worth it.
