Disney After Hours BOO BASH

[iowamomof4]

Heads up, people reporting Halloween sold out.

Oh no! I can't even imagine that could be true, and yet I sort of can. Mostly I can't believe that many people were able to get through already and they were ALL wanting Halloween.

Based on my original hold time I'm getting closer! Only 47 minutes to go!

 

[dreday3]

I bet they add more nights based on this!

winner...

This is a special kind of stupid. Only the best for the biggest fans!

Because they know we'll keep taking it, and keep asking for more.

Yessir...drinking th

Heads up, people reporting Halloween sold out.

Guess I don’t have to laugh about never considering paying for it anymore, huh?

Disney never discloses how many tickets are sold for any of these events, but this wording is very similar if not exactly the same as previous after hours events.

What we don't know:
-- Did they really impose a low cap or was it mostly limited most nights by the high price and late hours
-- Between pent up demand, first "event" back, the loss of free EMH, the cancellation of regular Halloween party... will demand for this event be higher than past After Hour events?
-- Thus, will attendance potentially be much higher than past after hour events...

Regarding your first point, there were sold out after hours events, so we do know what folks experienced with max crowds. According to reports on the ground, sold out Villains events felt more crowded than regular after hours, but were still very manageable with walk-ons for most rides. The notable exceptions were the rides with special overlays and 7dmt.

Is the chat outsourced or is it still in house? The quailty i have received personally makes thing they are either very poorly trained or not american.

The only reason I can imagine Disney forcing phone reservations: Scalping.

After the 1st hour or hour and a half, even 7dmt was 20 mins or less.....

Wonder if they'll close the Park at 7:00 for Boo nights? Towards the end of the After Hours run in '19, they have began to shut the Park(s) down at 6:00 so the REALLY have it cleared by the Official start of the After Hours

Do people have links to trip reports where villains was sold out? Don't think it'll change our strategy (if I can get tickets) but good to set expectations about what we can and can't get on.

There's a good thread on DisBoards with first-hand reports from VAH.

The park will not close early. Day guests will be allowed to enter ride queues up until a minute before official park closing time.

And this is why we’re doomed.

from what I heard - purely here say - the after hours events were very rarely sold out. It usually was when the parks were disgusting during the day. Which typically means they’re not worth being at in the first place.

Managed to get tickets for 8/10 through DVC. What a cluster overall for no reason.

Got em! October 26th here we come.

And, like before, the huge demand justifies Disney's decisions and enables the next step - or leap - forward in terms of pricing.
