Disney After Hours Event

I knew this wouldn't do well, and I'm glad!

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

I'd love to see them tell the DVC folk with the complementary passes that they don't get the same as everyone else after it's been told they're getting a $150 value handed to them as one of those special perks. Little old cast members are not paid nearly enough to put up with the pitch fork and torch carrying DVC mob that would gather around the mickey bars.

They are also sending out this email I just got today. It's trying to get me to buy a ticket. Making this rip off sound like its the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Ah, you're right.

I'm surprised they limited the options that much. It seems like there'd always be a big food & bev component to increase revenue.

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.

But thank goodness for PottyPass+ so I can have a reservation 180 days in advance for that toilet.

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

Why didn't Disney think of this....a GoFundMe account for Shanghai.

Looks like they invited the usual trough suckers too

Tonight's Disney After Hours event sold out with the help of a DVC giveaway

 

[WDWBryan]

So do the 200 people that paid to have the event filled by thousands of free dvc invites get a complimentary sucker button?

Oh joy look forward too seeing how awesome and magical this event was on twitter

Anyone know if it was REALLY only 200 tickets sold? Even for the $$$$ that number seems really low.....

 

[GhostHost1000]

So they probably sold 2 tickets and gave away the rest and advertise it as a sell out success. LOL!!! brilliant


Hear that...it's the sound of some corporate moron being promoted in the company because of how magically craptastic this is

 

[DisneyJoe]

I heard that 1000 were sold

 

[GhostHost1000]

I heard that 1000 were sold

1000 guests allowed in or 1000 sold? I somehow doubt sold but they may tell everyone that

 

[DisneyJoe]

I heard 1000 sold

Although I am a DVC member many times over and I love free swag, this is a slap in the face to those who actually paid the premium to attend. Those few hundred people(however many it actually was) should have had the MK all to themselves. After all, they paid dearly for it. I still don't see Disney giving up on it just yet. They will say not enough people new about it blah blah blah. They will throw more money at marketing the event rather than use the money for something actually needed.

Oh yeah this will be a major PR success even if it's not. That's why i have a hard time believing even the (round) 1000 "sold" number

Can you imagine if any DVC members paid for this and then found out they could have done it for free? lol

 

[raven]

curious to hear comments from anyone who went... how crowded/empty did the park feel? What were lines like? Any comparisons to the other hard ticket evenings?

Roommate is there tonight as a DVC member and brought his family. Still too early for news.

 

[wdwfan22]

It's amazing at how many bloggers from Disney fan sites are in attendance this evening. (I'm guessing they didn't have to buy tickets so they can report how wonderful the event is.)

Wow that's quite a sell. Special, enchanting, delightful? Looks like they're only missing "magical", although I'm sure I missed it.

And since when is it listed simply as Starbucks? I thought it was still the Main Street Bakery officially.
