It's not cheap to stay at value resorts when you have a large family and need more beds. I agree that having to pay for FP's would definitely change the way I tour. Also, the park reservation system with having to have one for the place you eat, for us park hoppers is kind of a nightmare to figure out. We are also going to AOA in December and not knowing whether we are going to also have to figure out how to hop with 1. reservations for a park, 2. reservations for dinner at the same park, and 3. How to manage a ride system, whatever is in place, is getting to be a lot. If we don't eat at a park, it's a little easier, but when you have to figure out your transportation routes built around your reservation for the first park, yikes! Just please tell us what to expect. It would be helpful for us planners. And for the record, I love FP+.
