So we now have an add-on to the add-on. This is not a good direction
I'm thinking there's one more level here, easy. The exclusive upsell WITHIN Tony's WITHIN the holiday party. A holiday themed signature cocktail in souvenir glass- just $30 more. Or maybe a FP to one's mountain of choice after you're filled to the gills with sugar & booze - just $20 more? (limited edition logo barf bag included.)
I'll probably lose 75% of you at this point by mentioning this sitcom, but it reminds me of a Frasier episode where he and his brother Niles are beyond psyched and pay through the nose to make it through the door of this extremely exclusive day spa. But then they accidentally catch a glimpse of the "Gold" door - a VIP area within this extremely exclusive spa. They pull every string, fork over the cash and manage to get in. But the holy grail still awaits - the "platinum door". A super-duper, incredibly exclusive VIP section within the VIP section WITHIN the VIP spa. (Or so they think. They HAD to get in. And that platinum door led straight to the back alley of the building, next to the garbage cans.)

This is....awesome.
And do I get any extra points from singing this out loud?
(Good thing I wasn't at work. Otherwise I would have started to hum this tune without realizing.)

That’s a perfect way to describe it!

Someone might argue the add-ons are innocuous enough, and “if someone really wants to do it, why wouldn’t Disney offer it?”—but remember, these are invented to milk money from Guests. Nobody has asked for additional upcharge events on top of existing upcharge events.

Guests: "There's not enough places open to eat at the parties!"
Disney: "Hold my beer; I have an idea."

Meh. I'm generally a fan of the add-ons (yup -- I said it!!), but a reserved spot for the SECOND parade just isn't needed. I like the come-and-go aspect, and can see it working for some who want a spot to sit and relax here and there. Not for us.
More power to Disney being able to monetize places to sit/stand. Unless it creates a bunch of drunken people running amok during MVMCP, I couldn't care less. This is another one that has really minimal impact on anyone else who doesn't partake -- some parade spots are off-limits to you for a parade where reserved viewing isn't even necessary. Big deal.
But I'm sure it's a sign of the impending apocalypse and I "just don't get it"...

Revision:
Jingle Bells. Profit swells. Disney finds a way. Tourist guest spent the rest. And It made Iger’s day.

I can't even muster the energy to get upset about this stuff anymore, it's clearly going to continue unabated. I will just continue to not go.
I know right? Now to figure out a way to monetize oxygen. And they're really missing some opportunities to charge people to stand at a garbage can to eat at Food and Wine. Maybe some kind of tiered reservation system or something like a parking meter where the garbage can opens a trapdoor and swallows your food if you haven't paid to keep the meter running. It can be tied to your magic band and it will feel like a fun little game! Lots of possibilities.

You think they count this as added capacity for the party nights and as a result increase the number of available tickets?
So additional upcharge availability because of an upcharge within the upcharge.
