It's a slower period so it would seem that the event would be more beneficial to Disney then. Similar to Food and Wine in the otherwise slow fall months. It also doesn't make sense that if the dates are established, they are not being released to guests. Certainly not the most guest-friendly decision. As for last year's event, yes, it was hot and crowded at times, but for me the bigger issue was they seemed to scale back on some of the events. I don't think they had one of the trivia games they usually do. There were definitely fewer characters walking around and interacting with guests, which is probably my favorite part of the event.
