Disney After Hours BOO BASH

[iowamomof4]

You seem to be using "after hours" and party terminology interchangeably. Are you talking about having attended an "after hours" (DAH) event on 12/8/2019, or another MVMCP? My understanding is that there are exponentially more people at a party than a DAH event, so having to shut the park down early to make room for all of them would seem to be more necessary for a party than DAH.

I don't expect the MK hours for regular guests will be reduced for Boo Bash at all.

I looked further into it, and there was an after hours on December 9, 2019. Magic Kingdom closed at 10pm and the event ran from 10p-1a. Exactly what I would have expected.

So Halloween was sold out but now it’s not. Saying it was a glitch. Translation:

either there was a glitch or Disney realized they can make more money so they increased capacity

likely both lol

The way today has gone, I totally would buy the "glitch" excuse.

My TA got through, and when it got to payment, my credit card declined (and my credit card is definitely not the problem).

I had that happen once when trying to renew my AP. Fortunately, I have another card I could use. When I hung up (because why would DVC members NOT have to call to renew their passes?!?!?), I saw a fraud alert email from my credit card company. The same company that let multiple fraudulent charges go through and reversed 1 after recognizing it as fraud WITHOUT EVER TELLING ME THERE WAS ATTEMPTED FRAUD ON MY CARD decided that a Disney charge was suspicious and must be blocked. After an hour on hold with DVC Member Services just to get to that point, I would have had an aneurysm if I couldn't complete the purchase.

It’s Di$ney so I would buy both

You seem to be using "after hours" and party terminology interchangeably. Are you talking about having attended an "after hours" (DAH) event on 12/8/2019, or another MVMCP? I assume the latter, as there was no DAH on that day. My understanding is that there are exponentially more people at a party than a DAH event, so having to shut the park down early to make room for all of them would seem to be more necessary for a party than DAH.

In sum, I don't expect the MK hours for regular guests will be reduced for Boo Bash at all.

I was using them interchangeably.
Upon further review we did the DAH on Dec 9, not the 8th....

That sounds right....maybe it was the Party nights that had the no man’s 1 hour window

I can tell you the ‘19 version of DAH was great

After 3 hours of calling and 2 hours of hold I successfully got tickets for 08/10.

So are people actually getting thru now?

So are people actually getting thru now?

I have been calling the 5277 line and 4240 line about every 5-10 seconds over the past two hours, and I haven't gotten through yet. Still just getting busy tones or "we're sorry..." messages.

After 3 hours of calling and 2 hours of hold I successfully got tickets for 08/10.

For a 3hr event.

 

[dreday3]

So are people actually getting thru now?

I did - so far on hold for 1hr and 11 minutes! (this is humiliating! I swear, my brother convinced us to do this )

 

[Dad 2 M & M]

Driven from Tampa almost to Georgia via 4 & 95 and still haven’t gotten through

There were widespread complaints about the parties around these parts in 2019. The seaweed really is greener in somebody else’s lake.

We've long since felt the parties did not hold value (they were great when they were much cheaper). So, for my family I would much prefer they keep doing these short hour after hours and have regular hours of MK (and other parks) rather than return the parties and have reduced regular hours. The after hours might be a money grab but it has less impact on regular guests.

(I'm also one who doesn't really care about seasonal decorations at Disney. We go infrequently enough that the regular décor is perfectly fine and enjoyable.)

For a 3hr event.

To be fair, most of us spend many cumulative hours planning our honeymoon, and the main event is all over in about 5 minutes.

Right on

we go enough so the reduced wait times are the Value ....we just ride rides

Anyone know.. can DVC members get the discount calling the regular ticket line?
The DVC Member Services line is beyond frustrating today.

Same here. Have been calling on and off since about 8.

 

[DisneyWorld30th]

WAIT - I've gotten through on one of their phone lines (for tickets). Can this team help me or is there a special number I need to call? Been on hold 60 minutes now.

 

[elle101me]

Finally got through on the 4240 line. I’m on hold.
