Disney slow?

Disney slow in attendance?
Here's a good article from one of my favorite Disney Facebook sites ( not affiliated with the Disney company). Good and interesting reading about lower attendance at Disney World. There seems to possibly be many possibilities for lesser crowds. No doubt a combination of several factors as discussed in the article. As for myself... I fall into the category of all the price increases as well as all the seemingly incidental but prominent charges for for extra things. We are not returning this year, nor the next, and perhaps to infinity and beyond due to raising costs. Peak season additional pricings for admission, hotels, merchandise,  and food. Extra premium charges for extra additional fast passes. Charges for over night parking at resort hotels, and the latest increase of charges for transportation in the Minnie minivans. It all adds up until you have unwittingly spent 30 to 50 percent more than the last visit. But it should be a boom to those without financial constraints. But that's just my thoughts from my perspective. Nevertheless an interesting article.  It also bothers me that some things are being cut back on or eliminated,  like the night time parades at Magic kingdom... SpectroMagic and the Electrical Light Parade having been missing for the past 24 months. Things that are part of general admission are being scaled down, but things that cost you extra money are being expanded upon. Just saying.
