The costumes are an easy cut though. If someone doesn't want to they probably don't have to or if they see people aren't responding well to them, they may cut them altogether.

They've been doing that for 10+ years

It'd be helpful if Disney actually bothered to do an ounce of promotion for events and places like this. I'd wager that the vast majority of people who visit WDW have no idea The Boardwalk even exists, let alone the kinds of entertainment it offers.
When the only thing you show on TV ads or in any planning materials is a castle and princesses, its no wonder the Dance Hall struggles to bring people in.

Agreed in full.

So is this thing still going on or no? Anyone know how well it did? With little to no promotion, I wouldn't think it did that well.
I'd love to see something like this come to Disney Springs in a more permanent set-up like Citywalk's Rising star. It's perfect for a nightlife offering at WDW. It'd be a karaoke be, so they wouldn't have to deal with everything they had to with the clubs, but it would help to start filling a huge void in nighttime entertainment currently at the resort.

As I posted 5 posts above, it is popular and got extended into September
Anecdotal evidence says it was mostly CMs doing Disney songs. No idea if it's still going on--I think they could close and demolish ADH and the news wouldn't make it online for 3 months.

Ah, missed it as I quickly scrolled through. Thanks. Would still like to see something like this get a dedicated space though. ADH is a great space, but it's used for so many things that you can't set up anything truly permanent in there.

The one perk of Cast is they still are silly enough to pay for alcohol with no discounts...

Now now, don't get crazy. Disney wouldn't want to lose out on all the Wedding money they make from that place...
Agreed though, no one really knows it exists. That's partially Disney's fault and part just because of the location. The Boardwalk isn't a high traffic area to begin with as it's a pain in the neck to get to.

I unfortunately have not been in ADH. Is it large enough inside to do a small venue concert periodically?

If you've ever been inside House of Blues, think of that layout, except on a bigger scale. Much larger dance floor, but still has the overlooking second floor and even a balcony that looks out over the water. I've actually never noticed how similar the venues are until thinking about it now myself. ADH is just larger and is used for special events/wedding receptions while HOB is mainly a concert venue/club.
EDIT: Here's a photo:
They probably could. Surprised they haven't tried that before, actually.

Speaking about concerts, I have had this idea for awhile now that DHS should start to do a summer concert series (or whenever it's needed most). Use the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater. Build a big temporary stage over some of the seating, slightly smaller than the one currently in front of the hat and have a whole concert series with big name artists. Depending on how they built the stage, they could potentially play right into Fantasmic! as well.
