Unfortunately, Disney keeps upping the ante for them.
They're doing it as cheap as they can by booking dates at off times and by using the Pier's facilities, but as long as Disney is going to require them to use the ballroom as they do now...the price is going to remain high.
They can't do it without Disney's cooperation and frankly, since MP can't really quantify ticket sales and the such for the Mouse...I wouldn't be surprised if they are eventually forced into additional banquet services. I'm sure MA is treated as any other conference/banquet event in Disney's eyes, and since sponsorships are contractually prohibited...the cost has to be passed on to the participants.
It sucks, but I'm sure the MP Staff can't do much about it.
