I understand (and agree with you) however, if your country club said "You pay $xxxxx and you get 4 entry cards to give to whomever." So for 3 years, you do this. Now, 3 years later they say "We are changing the rules. You can only have 2 cards, but you are going to pay the same." I think this is where most members are most upset.
I understand that many will complain and it's somewhat justified. But if those cards created a situation where so many people had access to the club that the system became unsustainable, how should it be corrected? What if they had doubled the dues or more to account for accommodating double the guests. It sounds like Disney is saying that the value is the exclusivity and increased availability. Some may feel this is an about face from "share the love," but I'm sure there are many members staying silent who are anticipating sipping their mint julep with a little more room to stretch around them. I'm not saying members can't complain because they're lucky to be members. I'm just saying you can only throw so much money at a real world problem like, the capacity of a fixed space.
