'Club Villain' ticketed event coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios in January 2016

[wannabeBelle]

Insane that this is not a ticketed event for that price. Disney has some b*lls! I could better see the $99 price if this included park admission and limited access to rides.

That would be pretty awesome, maybe open up RNRC and TOT Only and do this as an after hours event so hence not charging you for a park day in addition to the $99 per person? Also is this only offered on Saturdays? I would think if it does tend to sell out, that they may increase the number of times a week it would be offered. Marie

Hoop De Doo Review is a great show and you can do that for $50ish a person

This sums the whole thing up.

Considering Club Villain is a ticketed event inside the park, why is an event that doesn't need park admission cheaper!

You mean like Star Wars and Toy Story Lands?

Neither one exists as of yet.

Creating intentional demand it looks like.

So, this is still where the dance party is going during the day, correct?

This doesn't start until January so the dance party may be done during the day and then switch over for this event in the evening or the dance party possibly may not even last that long, depending on the popularity I would think. Marie

You have that slightly wrong. They can pay $400 just to get into the park and then another $400 to go to the event. So, $800 to go to a park that is half closed

Besides Backlot Tour, what else is closed? I though Launch Bay was going in Animation. Didn't realize they closed so many other things. I just wish they would add like a Star Wars Land or like a Toy Story Land with like five new rides. We can only dream.

Part of it is my unhappiness with the closing of Animation. My wife loved the "Mushu show" and my daughter loved the activities. My daughter is now 13 and we have gone every year since she was 3. Each year we get a picture of her with Mr. Incredible. It was a tradition that, in a way, helped us watch her grow. I will miss that.

Except those things will take 3-5 years to open. Why can't they add a new show now. BatB and Mermaid have been showing since time began, its time for something new. Shows should change out more often.

Backlot tour and amimation are the main closures, but the park was stale before they closed anyway. Yes Launch bay replaces animation. But animation tour was already poor compared to what it was 15 years ago.

They should be beefing up their live entertainment options during this period of construction, not eliminating anything. It will keep their guests happy and give them something to do while they wait for the new stuff.

You know, like that park down I-4 has been doing.

I looooove Disney, as we all do, but I hope news/social media blasts Disney for a move like this. Yes, more is coming in the future and that's awesome, but with so many closings and half the park a construction zone, this really is a greedy move on their part.

Hoop Dee Doo Revue is over $60 a person now. I just booked it for November and paid $67 per person. Maybe it's because of the time of year?

The Merry & Bright Dessert party is already $69 per adult so I wouldn't think that a full dinner should be less than that.Keep in mind neither one of these includes park entrance. I wouldn't pay $69.00 for the Dessert party at all and the dinner party does depend on if I get the entertainment options I am looking for. If not, I wont be paying for that either. I just booked the Hoop De Doo last night for $67.99 for Category 1 and park admission is not required and it is a great show! I think that is much more in line with the correct pricing unless some other perks are added for CV ( Specialty pin, additional entertainment etc.) Marie

Wow this is super lame. How long before Philharmagic is 30 a person? Or the dance party at animal kingdom by dinosaur is that going to get an upcharge fee if they start to include chicken nuggets on the side for guests?

 

[Flyersgirl17]

I was all excited and then i read further and was sooooo completely bummed!!! That means I'd have to pay $400 for my family on top of what I'm already paying to get into the park. Like someone else said - i thought this was suppose to be a show they were adding to DHS to offset the other stuff closing. No thanks!!! I'll pass

Disney already offer this as part of meetings and weddings. .. I'm guessing it will be similar?! They have a video and images here...

But still $67 for a full dinner and a show at Hoop-de-doo or $198 for theme park admission, dinner and a show at DHS Club Villain?

It is going to switch mode for the Saturday night.

how is that going to work if they are doing the Star wars stuff on the weekends - or wait has that been announced officially yet?

 

[Zipadeelady]

Hopefully they will add a bit more because $99.00 for four villains and some food is too pricey for me. Now if you give me all or the majority of the Villains I'd pay. Or Yzma!! Has she every been in the parks? I'd pay to see her!!

 

[danlb_2000]

I wonder if this was inspired by the popularity of Harambe Nights.

Thanks for that link, looks like there is a set up for a band in those pictures, we are getting closer to what I would want to see!!! Marie

Oh...I'm agreeing with you. I was trying to get across that a full dinner and show is less than this and park admission is not required...I apologize if that wasn't clear.

These extra ticket events don't necessarily phase me too much because we're passholders, so I'm not necessarily having to spend $200 for my wife and I to get in the park and another $200 for the dinner. As much as we go, it costs us less than $20 to get into the parks. IMO, this dinner show is priced too high at first glance. However, since no one has gone yet, we can only give our opinions based on speculation and what has been published. For all we know there are some extras included that aren't published.

It will definitely be interesting to see what the reviews look like once people start going.
