Really sorry to hear about the wait times. I visited there a couple of years ago and I was anticipating horrific crowds, but we seemed to get really, really lucky (not sure if that was due to the rain or due to it being the week before Golden Week).
Bottom line is that it's reportedly aways busy at both parks and there isn't too much that can be done about it, other then building more attractions which would probably just increase crowds anyway. I was under the impression that the reason you need to specify which park your visiting on which date was to try and control the crowds, but I guess there is only so much that helps.
I think the ToT ride thing is a cultural issue. I doubt they get many requests for it at TDL / DS.
Honestly, I think you had a rough time and I would have been disappointed too so I totally get where you're coming from, but if you visited WDW on thanksgiving etc it's probably a very similar experience.
