I think a substantial part of this is the monthly AP payment plan, which has allowed individuals to upgrade their AP's at a minimal monthly cost. That in turn allows said AP's more available days to be in the park. What I wish Disney would disclose is the breakdown of AP's vs non AP's... because I think you would see the loss of attendance there.

Disney has essentially padded their numbers
