Disney After Hours Event

[DManRightHere]

Is it confirmed the events are limited to 3,000 people?

Just took a couple minutes to look up Park hours....

These "parties" are taking place almost exclusively on Thursdays. Which makes comparisons easier.

So. On the corresponding Thursday's in April 2015. The MK was open till 12a or 1a each night. That means, we are losing 2 hours on each of these nights that was previously part of normal admission. So there goes the argument that this only affects those willing to pay.

Not officially. But the first post in this thread was right on the money with everything else, so the 3000 mentioned there may well be correct.

I'll be there May 18-25 and Just looked. MK has EMH on 18th 11p-1a. I'll stick with that included with my AP that expires in June. Not worth the $150 for the quiet hours in my opinion, even with free ice cream.

I really don't understand how this ****es people off. Will I personally pay for it? No. But does it affect anyone who doesn't pay for it? Heck no.

It doesn't affect us because we choose not to spend that ridiculous amount of money for 3 measly hours, but it does affect us because this is the start of a trend that vacationers and long time visitors to WDW are beginning to see. At some point, the value of a vacation to WDW just won't be worth it. That's what es us off.

I heard Disney is experimenting with low-projectile fireworks, so you won't be able to see them for free from outside the park. With these Imagineers the sky is the limit.

Also the pay toilet project will be rolling out soon.

Since the park is open two less hours than the same Thursday's from 2015 - it is affecting every guest.

Do you think one day we will look back on Disney After Hours and wax nostalgic on what a great value it once was once they triple the price, remove the snacks and characters, and oversell the event?

Sure! It'll be like missing the days of pickpocketing after being robbed at gun point

If it's really held to a low number like 3000, it might be worth it.

How many tickets do they sell for mickey's not so scary halloween party?

Because that get too crowded.

People go to those parties for entertainment, not the rides, so crowded depends on what youre looking to do.

@wdwmagic, can you send TWDC the graph results of your poll? Perhaps it will make them rethink. Nah.....

So it's more of an upcharge to late night park operations. Pay x and the park is still open for you. Also taking away opportunity from regular guests....these are dark times....keep in mind that universal APs are less than half of Disney's I believe.

So folks will be paying $150 for a couple of M&Gs? Wow.

 

[note2001]

So, ok. Disney hears change rattling around in the pockets of some of their guests and knows these folks would spend it given the chance. Is that what this is about? Wouldn't it be easier to set up some donation bins along main street to encourage visitors to help out poor Shanghai and Hong Kong? (maybe they fear melted half-eaten mickey pops dumped in the donation bins)

Im speaking of the Halloween parties which include most rides, quite a fee M&G, a parade, at least one show, a couple dance parties, and fireworks. For $70 - now anyway, I figure thats worth $125

Shanghai needs more than loose change

. I just found $1.49 under my couch cushions I can donate, lol.

I think they may well be encouraged but he 7% yes. This is likely going to be enough for them to sell out the events. They are targeting a very small group here.
