Did they finally announce how to join the queue, or is it the same info from June?
Not yet, so assuming it's the same info. I just don't think I ever reported this, so there it is

Then don't pay for it.
You're outright ignoring that a great portion of those guests paying to get in will ALSO pay for food.
Lets say that you would spend $100. A guest paying $180 to get in is going to spend at least $20 additionally, probably more, but lets call it $20. Even then, you would need 2 of you just to bring in the same revenue as 1 of them.

What's the expected maximum capacity for this? I'd assume they are restricted by however many shows they plan on having for the Muppets/Singalong theaters... which can roughly accommodate 1K guests a show. So if the event only runs for 4 hours... maybe 3 shows at most per theater? So... maybe 6-8K guests a night?
DHS capacity is much higher, but a big selling point of the event is reduced wait times

Obviously they will pay for food... that seems to be a point of the event. I just want to question why go all out in food when it's a limited-time event, with limited entertainment. The menu is nearly the size of Food & Wine lol

They ran Rogers the musical for 8k-ish guests/day and spent a lot of money to only run it for 2 months.
Food is easy and perishable. Its much easier to come up with new menus than to create a limited time attraction/experience that requires actual construction. I'm sure the development of the Muppets show cost much more than the development of all the food.

Got it! I hope we get some more info soon. I might actually go to this if the VQ is manageable. Are we thinking ride wait times should be lower?
I think it will be nearly walk on. Everyone is going to be either hogging the seat in Brown Derby, Tip Top Club, or queueing for the shows lol

It sounds like this might be a situation where you pay for the event and then not be able to participate in swaths of it due to limited capacity issues

I don’t really see what the $179 is paying for. MVMCP has robust entertainment, ride overlays, and some food included. This event should just be every night during the holidays at DHS with a couple upcharge parties for adults to book if they want.

Exactly my argument/issue with the event. Why not expand the park hours an extra hour or two, allow everyone to participate, and then upcharge the lounges?
I would assume selling holiday food items all day would generate more revenue than the event itself. I'd assume they think they would cannibalize sales from Festival of the Holidays? They're already fine potentially cannibalizing Very Merry?
Outside of decor, DHS will have nothing included in park admission for the holidays.

Going from Osborne to JBJB and then progressively decreasing its pyro has slowly diminished DHS at Christmas to nothing. How awful. This is basically a holiday DAH event but they should at least include the premium bars, popcorn, and soda…such hubris in this offering.
I presume JBJB will be “free” Christmas Week at least.
They shoulda offered a parade or at the very least a cavalcade. I've said it and said it. I know they're cheap, but they could have mashed up whatever units they have laying around, even just decorating a few cars, throw the muppets in, add dancers, take one of Tokyo's or Paris 100 different Christmas parade soundtracks and poof.

That would make a ton of sense - have it as part of the day, but obviously make extra $ on the extra food, and charge like $79 or whatever to get into the tip top lounge but that covers the drinks and light food or something
I really like the holiday decorations at DHS, love the Muppets ... but $179 to get in to then get on a wait list to get into an area to then spend more $ on food, just doesn't feel very festive

Stand outside the park and offer someone $50 to grab you a sugar cookie.

Thought this was interesting… they put that you can join the walk up list for Brown Derby but nothing for Tip Top
I'm guessing that is because Brown Derby is already setup in My Disney Experience as a restaurant with a walk-up system in place. Tower of Terror is a pop-up location , and is not already part of the MDX dining system.
