Stretch it too much and it will snap. Disneyland under Paul Pressler tested the elasticity of APs right to the limit and lost many of them. But the SoCal deal for locals was available and so AP numbers continued to soar. WDW finds itself in a much different position. But even then there is is only so much punishment Disney can send the way of its strongest supporters before we too bend or break.
