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.
^this. For Passholders and Cast Members, the only associated cost is the event itself (not admission). This kinda insures that the only people that will be seeing the show in this format are locals and diehards who don't care about cost. If there really was any truth to the rumors about this going into Theatre of the Stars, perhaps this is their way of doing a "test run" before it ends up in a more permanent venue where the more general public will see it.
