If it were about making things better for the customer, it would be a lot more powerful and wouldn't require booking so far in advance.
It is a testament to the power of marketing that Disney does all of these things and people so easily believe it is for them. They have truly found the Holy Grail. I tell you pretty much all businesses wish they could make things easier for themselves, while charging their customers more, and have their customers believe it is about providing them a better experience (rather than simply padding the profit margins). They have people willingly boxing themselves into plans made months in advance, even believing it is in their interest to pay a premium for the opportunity.
