Disney After Hours Event

[Wendy Pleakley]

Interesting. If I was paying $150 for this event, I think I'd be annoyed if they let anyone else in for free, regardless of how small the crowds are.

Saw that DVC members can get free admission into the first night. Wonder how many tickets they actually sold

 

[asianway]

Good.

Retool it with some special entertainment and it will sell. Nothing special as it stands

 

[hpyhnt 1000]

Not a lot.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

What's sad is that there are probably a handful of execs in the halls of Disney who are shocked at this result.

For that price I'd require free food & drinks, M&Gs to include Walts frozen head, the Prince of my choice chaperoning me to the rides and a royal carriage taking me to my hotel afterwards

Only if Walt's head is like the Talking Mickey head. I want mouth moving, otherwise it would be awkward.

They'd better not be filling up all the unsold spots with free entries so they can bill it as a completely sold out experience and proclaim it a huge success. (a.k.a: Hanna Montana marketing hype)

That's exactly what they'll do. They need bodies when they post the recap on parks blog. Nice to know the rubes have limits. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if they were holding off on announcing prices for MNSSHP until they saw how this did

It's an "event" that really starts at 11pm. How many people did they expect to shell out $150 for this.

Entertainment costs money though, and it's very obvious the point of this "event" was to have a very high profit margin.

Stop sucking at your jobs TDO. Come up with something worth purchasing.

Well, according to the DVC RSVP page, tomorrow night is filling up fast. I rsvpd, but I still haven't gotten my email confirmation.

Yep, that's what they are doing. They are also giving this as a DVC perk right after they took away the perks from anyone buying DVC resale. The DVC reps will be using this as a selling point..."if you buy direct from us you get all sorts of special perks not available to resale buyers. For example we gave our members free tickets to an exclusive event at MK that costs $150. For your family of 4 that's a $600 perk. Almost covers what you pay in maintenance fees." It's the latest way to get people to pay twice as much for DVC points.

It's digusting is what it is.

You will get one only if they cant fill the slots with paying customers.

"The latest surprise generating buzz around the neighborhood"

The only surprise is that they actually managed to sell ONLY 200 individual tickets for this thing before someone said - it might not be good optics if the amount of Cast Members needed to operate the park outnumber the Guests on its grand debut!

How do you know they only sold 200 tickets?

 

[Disneyyensid]

Following want to see what you think

 

[Crazydisneyfanluke]

What if they are trying to sell out the first date so it increases sales of the other dates? People want more of what they cant have.

 

[lentesta]

Those free DVC guests will still spend some money on food and souvenirs. It's better than nothing at this point.

I will pay valid American currency for proof that they only sold 200 tickets to this first event. Y'all know how to get in touch.

But aren't only Casey's and Starbucks open during the event? Do the DVC members still get free soda and ice cream?
