I'm amazed every time we go to Disney. The way people look and act certainly doesn't correlate to the amount of money being spent. A family of 4 or 5 is dropping close to $5k on the low end and over $10K if they're staying in more expensive hotels. Yet they're still eating their ham sandwiches in ride lines and throwing their trash on the ground. It's an amazing people study.

The people that do this are not dropping 5-10K on a vacation. They have saved for years to go to the park. They are staying 5 nights, off property at an $89/night hotel that has free breakfast and free shuttle to the park. They are probably not going to the World every day, maybe 2-3 days. They bring/sneak food in. This is a trip of a lifetime for them.

So yeah, they are still trashy. You won't see that at some of the nice on-property hotels.

There is no sneaking food in because you are allowed to take it in. I've stayed at deluxe resorts for the last three years and bring food with me every day. One of the main reasons I stay in a deluxe villa is to have a fridge so I can have food in the room , eat dinner or lunch there from time to time and bring food to the parks.

Disney is priced that two families of the exact same size who eat the same amount of food, who go to the same parks on the same days for the same amount of time can each spend the same money but have VERY differtn vacations based on how they spend their money.

The key to value with Disney is not how much money you spend, it's what you get for your money. I can do a week in a value for as low as $3500 (family of three) and have a nice trip but the guy in the room next to me can spend double on a family the same size because of how the trip was organized and detailed.
