Disney After Hours Event

Well if there's unlimited ice-cream and bottled beverages, then I am going to make this a money looser for them then.

$150 what is that 4 mickey bars?

FWIW the MK seems to have been open 965 hours in April and May 2015. It's scheduled to be open 908 hours (57 fewer) in 2016.

About 8 of those hours are for the 24-hour event. 8 fewer morning EMH and 1 fewer evening EMH are scheduled for 2016 too.

April. I didn't look up May. It was a pain on my phone.

Edit to add:

@wdwmagic took care of that.

Yup, I admit that I was wrong. I checked the wrong sites, and was properly chastised for using out-of-date information.

Not sure if this would actually be profitable with $45,000 ($150 x 3,000) of 'ticket' revenue to keep attractions up and running. I think the park would make more money if fully operating for 3 hours with more people to shop/eat. The amount of Cast it takes to 'clear a park' for Halloween and Christmas parties is pretty substantial and that's for like 20,000 people.

$450K?

I'm pretty sure Disney is Catering to a much higher end crowd that wouldn't mind paying that in order to be in an empty park.

At this point can't hours still be added? Aren't there frequent changes to the schedule? @wdwmagic

I suppose one could look at this as night-time party to attend without having to purchase a regular day ticket. Either 6 or 7 hours with 7pm entry - 1am or 7pm entry - 2am, depending on the night. Okay, fine. But why spend $150 for 6 or 7 hours in the spring when you can spend $62-$75 for MNSSHP or MVMCP from 4pm - Midnight (8 hours). WAY overpriced.

Easter was April 5 last year. That leaves basically all of April as "post Easter".

A lot of schools, at least here in the Northeast also take the week after Easter as their "spring break". That would put the "crowds" through the 12th.....I was there!

Also the pay toilet project will be rolling out soon.

Wow. Reminds me of when I visited East Berlin before the Wall came down. We had to pay for each square of toilet paper we wanted to use in the ladies room. Maybe that's why we got the new Tangled potties...

Even so, I don't think they ever got to 2000 for E-ticket nights and that was only $10.

Once again, I do no believe E-ride did not cover admission to the park.

My thoughts exactly - pay twice as much as a MNSSHP/MVMCP and be guaranteed 1/3 to 1/2 of the people.

Golden Oak residents? or do they get in for free?

I posted this in another thread and I'll post it again here...

Disney is not paying their PR team enough money.

Minus the guarantee as no such promise has been made.

So over on the DIS, a poster (who's daughter is a CM in the area that knew about this) keeps posting cryptically, that WDW is really upset that this info leaked, and that they are looking for heads to roll about the leak. And saying that this was one portion of a bigger roll-out Disney wanted to announce all at once. No speculation on what the other parts would be.

Well, I can name the culprit...for a price. Tell Danny to get in touch with me, he knows where to find me.

Disney's arm was not bent behind their backs to release any information. Anything "leaked" is simply rumor until they say otherwise. The fact that they put this out on their blog like this tells me they were prepared.

Could you be purchased with say, an evening of unlimited Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars? Bob Iger is at my house asking.

It's not on the Parks Blog, maybe someone leaked the official site?

As for bigger roll out, Could MK be planning entertainment for this?
Maybe Friendship Farie, FOF or different Parade, or the Fireworks that MK did for DVC 25 or a new show?

If I had to guess, they know exactly who did it and corporate has been looking at him for awhile.
