You make me feel like you think I hate Disney or something. I am one of the biggest Disney fans on the planet, but you have to live under a rock to not see what they have been doing for the last 3 or 4 years. Here's a few:

Ok.... but you refer to morning or evening extra magic hours as "taking away magic" and I'd bet some people would call this adding an opportunity.
You can easily list price increases, but price increases are industry-wide, not just Disney. So I suppose, while this complaint is certainly valid, wouldn't it be true of every other vacation you could possibly take? Or in order to maintain magic, is Disney supposed to decrease their costs as everyone else increases?
And amongst all of the complaints I tend to see on posts like this, there never seems to be an acknowledgement of the things that have been added. New meet and greets, Rivers, of Light, the Muppet Shows in Liberty Square, new menu offerings at restaurants, etc.
Yes, it is crowded. I'm sorry that your trip didn't live up to your expectations. Maybe it would be better if there was a bathroom attendant in every bathroom full time. But personally I am willing to look past the occasional messy bathroom so I can watch Sam the Eagle narrate some US History for me. I'm looking forward to expereincing Pandora, and I still think grabbing some freshly made caramel corn from Karamel Kuche after Illuminations is magical.
