You don't get a button, you don't get a free photo and the trick or treat bag is plastered with advertisements for their movies.
Would you not be angry if bought a gallon of milk for more than normal and got home with 3/4 of a gallon? I sure would.
You don't expect to get into a park 3 hours before park opening, so why should you expect to get into the park 3 hours before the party starts? It had been allowed as a courtesy, to keep crowds down at the opening of the party. They have figured out that they are losing 'gate' letting people in early, so now it's gone.

As for your gallon of milk analogy, you were paying for a half gallon and getting almost a full gallon....Now you are paying for a half gallon and getting a half gallon. Maybe slightly less due to the loss of the photo and pin....
