*** Spoiler Alert *** a little doom and gloom ahead ***
Unless there's still something we're missing (and there very well could be), Disney had to know that WDW veterans who have spent years perfecting their FP maximization strategies were going to HATE this FP+ idea. But I think they view that demographic as such a small part of their revenue stream, that they are willing to lose some good will there, and maybe completely lose a few loyal fans altogether. But you know what? There will be thousands more to replace us, as new parents start bringing their kids - parents who never knew there was an old version of FP. And they're going to LOVE FP+ (maybe because of marketing as much as anything else), and they're going to be the new die-hard fans who want to keep coming back.
Exactly and this is why they came up with Fastpass+. Disney always has a mindset as to how they 'want' things to run. When that does not happen, they slowly change it to what they want it to be even to not allowing you to come back after the designated time. That was never the way the program was suppose to work. Did they allow it, sure, because Disney hates aggressive enforcement of anything. So they have now come up with something to eliminate the "super" fast pass users without being actively aggressive about it.
From the beginning they probably wanted no one to have more than 3 per person per park.
And as you say, they don't have to please everyone, just enough to be profitable.
