So this $150 gets you in the park at 7pm plus the event EMH?

Yes. However, the free ice cream and soda don't come until that 3-hour window.

Thanks...The wording used for this announcement was awful. Everyone I know thinks it's $150 on top of your ticket.

I thought so too. It wasn't until I read the FAQ section that it was made clear to me.

Someone please try to explain to me why anyone would pay for this or the barely open fantasyland morning event

If given the choice between a standard one-day MK ticket and DAH, I would choose the latter.

What you are paying for, that you can't get any other day in your normal admission, are nearly empty lines for all of the most popular attractions.
They have to run a "skeleton operation" or they'd be unnecessarily spending money. Why pay a few CMs to stand next to the least popular ride, when almost nobody will be riding it? My thought is, if a line is ever empty, the ride is not worth staffing for this event. I am actually surpised at how much will be open.
And I can't imagine becoming bored at the Magic Kingdom. But you sound as though you've experienced this before, so I guess you are different than me. I'd find enjoyment riding something over and over and observing details that I normally miss or don't care to look for. Finding hidden mickeys, for instance. Or just taking in the surronding environment. People-watching. Point is, I've never became bored at a Disney park, and of all places, I guarantee it wouldn't happen at the Magic Kingdom.
Others don't seem to like this and that's totally fine and understandable. We'll have to see how the actual event works out, but compared to most other events, I do think this one provides more value for the price.

I think its time for a new Welcome Show. Governor Ratcliffe can open the park, the Main Street singers can perform "Master of the Mouse" (Les Miserables), and the steam train will arrive with Uncle Scrooge, Stromboli, Prince John, Madame Medusa, Alameda Slim and Edgar the butler. If you want to have a magical commemorative photo taken with Fagin in front of the Mickey floral, simply toss your children's college funds into the bin marked "Sucker".

There is a big safety risk there. Disney's insurance premiums would go through the roof.

Those who have no clue and have money to flush down the tangled bathroom toilets?

To me this seems like you pay more and get less for a limited amount of time. So what am I missing here

Drug lords, sports stars, defense contractors. Parvenus. Even if one could afford it, in absolute terms, then still in relative terms WDW becomes tasteless spending. Add in food, and a family could pay $1200 for five hours of burgers and princess m&g's. Who does that?

That ice cream better be spiked with something!We have seen this before.
Over a decade ago, before EMH, Disney offered something very similar, less the ice cream.
Of course, the cost of that offering was about $15, so I fail to see where the "value" lies in Disney's latest offering.
Unless it's REALLY good ice cream.

From a guided tour after hours? You wouldn't actually do any maintenance or other activity. It would just be a walking tour on the facilities and practices of keeping the Magic Kingdom running. Maybe end with a look at the Monorail depot or something.
Where's the risk? I'm not seeing it.
