Will anything else be open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios® for the private after-hours party?

Yes, select merchandise and food and beverage locations will operate during the after-hours party in addition to Star Wars Launch Bay, Star Tours The Adventures Continue attraction. There will be additional entertainment throughout the park. No other attractions are planned to operate.




Seriously? For $100? what a complete joke.

Have you heard of the multi-quite tool? Quite useful and something you might want to use in the future.

But no, the FAQ clearly states that's it's just Launch Bay, Star Tours, and Fireworks with a DJ. There is also some food and merchandise, but no other rides or attractions are open. Incredibly steep price for having access to so little for such a small amount of time.

Thank you for the suggestion. No, I don't multi quote and here's why: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/to-multiquote-or-not-to-multiquote.905999/#post-6934346

I totally get why some may not find the value, and fully understand why some may feel it's a rip-off - personally, though, I would be going for it if I were down there. Kind of a once in a lifetime event thing - it basically sounds like the ST2 Launch Party, and I had a good enough time there that I would have paid for it.

And although the dollar value is going to vary based on circumstances, it includes free parking at the Studios ($20) and the movie ticket, so basically it can be looked at as $65ish bucks for 4 hours in the park with the festivities plus access to Star Tours (which I'm betting will be introducing newer content as has been speculated, so it's not odd to want to ride it 5 or 6 times to see them all).

Totally see why it may not appeal to all, again - but Disney could have easily charged double for this and still likely sold out, and it actually is a time-sensitive event (unlike 3 or 4 "parties" a week with other upcharges) so I gotta say, it's not as terrible and ridiculous as some of the other things they have come up with.

Yes, I feel like a doofus for "defending" it - but really, it's not as bad as I would have suspected.

I don't think you're a doofus. What you are saying is how I feel. No, it's not for everyone. But some people (myself included) see the value in this. I don't think Disney will have a problem selling tickets.

For $100, here is what it SHOULD include:
  • Movie ticket at AMC
  • Concessions at AMC
  • Charter bus transportation between DS and HS with return service to DS afterward to pick up your car, if needed
  • Food and drink at HS covered
As for rides, I get the entire park probably couldn't be open but they could open attractions in the vicinity of SW. Great Movie Ride, Toy Story, and Muppets 3D come to mind.
