As for parades and fireworks, my theory on the shorter window for reserving them is Disney just being careful in case they extend hours in the parks and then have to adjust the scheduled fireworks and parade times. Imagine if people reserved FP+ times for the fireworks, they changed the times and now the new time conflicts with a dinner reservation or another FP+ reservation. Headaches galore.
At least that's my theory...
