I don't know why some people are so hung up over the 7am booking time.
There's no time that's going to be perfect for everyone. Would I prefer to book at 10pm the night before? Sure. Would there also be people asleep at that time, or doing evening hours who don't like the time? Yes.
I imagine most people are up at 7am while at WDW in order to get started and maximize their day. Why would Disney set a booking time differently in order to cater to a small minority who wants to sleep in?
I think you would be surprised how many people would like to sleep in. Not sleep half the day away but until 830 or 9. The rope drop crowd is indicative of that.
If we get to the park by 11 we have 8 hours at AK, and more at the other 3. If Genie + works out well for those who like to get the park early and also arrive late then the $15 is worth it. But having to wake up early for the ILL bookings like Rise or to book your Genie + LL for SDD will be necessary from all indications to jump on right away or within the first 30 minutes (7 to 730am).
