I have no concrete information as to whether it'll happen or not, but it wouldn't shock me. As a shareholder, i'd love to see them charge more for everything.

As a shareholder your concern should be that Disney holds down expenses to bring better profitability. It isn't the park that needs to perform better, it's the media division outside of ESPN. It's dragging the numbers down...
And, while Universal has had growing attendance, (as has Disney) it doesn't really mean that more people are paying for their Express Pass. I would have to see their numbers before I would acknowledge that charging for Fast Pass makes sense. Universal may have growing attendance but that doesn't mean more people are paying for Express Pass.
And....the option I use to avoid the new Fast Pass, one you aren't thinking of.....go to the Park at times that you don't need them. You as a DVC member should know that if you go at certain times of the year you can pretty much walk right up to most all the attractions but Space Mountain, Splash Mountain and Thunder Railroad at MK, Star Wars in DS, It's Bug's Life and Kilimanjaro Safari in AK and Soarin' and Test Track in EPCOT.
