You have that wrong. The people who can afford Disney are the one who are living it up because they have all the money.
A Disney vacation for 4 now requires you to have an income in the 200K range. It's for upper middle-class and richer people now. Everything in the park now has premium optional pricing, like the lightning passes to skip ride lines, etc.
The people who need the escapism, can't afford Disney parks anymore.
My sister is the target customer. She's in her 50s, her income is about 700K a year, and she goes to Disney parks twice a year and drops about 10-20K on each trip. But even she is getting pissed off at the massive price increases the last few years, she now only goes once a year instead of twice.
She has gone to Disney parks her entire adult life she since was like 25.
