The old system was about as perfect as you could get and it was fair to everyone.
EDIT
The first hour of the day is absolutely critical. You can get a ton done if you hit everything in the right order.

Your thinking is a little flawed in the first paragraph....
Most schools here in the SE US are out of school by the end of May because there are few, if any "snow days". If you want to get a time where you will see less crowds you need to go:
1) After Spring Break and before Memorial Day,
2) The week after Fall Break (usually mid October) up to mid November (save for Halloween
3) The 2 weeks after Thanksgiving...
Also....we have found that from Sunday to mid-Wednesday of Thanksgiving week are pretty sparse crowds. But at noon on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving all hell breaks loose.
Different people might have other view but the many times I have gone I have usually been there during one of these days and not had a bad experience.
