Tuesday & Thursday nights only? I'm sure people will buy tickets, but it may not completely sell out that easily.

Only 5 nights... It's pretty clear that this is Disney dipping it's toe in the water to see how people in SoCal react to up-change Christmas party.
I expect next year to see Disney go all in on putting the Christmas offerings behind the paywall.
This explains the mysterious November 11 blockout date for the Imagine Key and back when the SoCal Select Pass was a thing the same Thursday in 2020 was also randomly blocked. So this Christmas party was originally planned to debut in 2020.

So, since you can arrive at 5pm and stay until midnight (7 hours of park time), I initially thought, "well that's not so bad... maybe if I were local.." But then I realized that the price is higher than a single day ticket and part of the park is closed. Sorry Disney, selfie walls and a few character sightings are not worth the extra money.
Having said that, I'm confident this will sell out. I am just not the target audience.

I don't understand why they are connected. Isn't November 11th a holiday?
Okay, so Micechat is telling the truth. It's still a bad website, but whatever. But I suppose doing 5 private Christmas parties only five nights is fair enough. But Christmas Fantasy Parade and Believe in Holiday Magic fireworks show must be open for everyone, even if they to make reservations.

They really missed an opportunity to do a Life Day celebration with the Star Wars characters across all 3 generations of film trilogy for Galaxy’s Edge.
Combined with no BGs for Rise (similar to how Webslingers runs for OBB) I would argue this could have been a better “bonus” trade off than Buzz Lightyear in Tomorrowland.

It's bothersome that for whatever reason everyone seems to want to get to Halloween early. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Christmas is spared such prematurity.

You are expected to shop voraciously during the event, playing your part to immerse yourself in the holiday!

Naturally, these five nights will sell out within 30 minutes of going live on day of sale.
Locals and the uber DLR fans will snap these up...absolutely.
Remember how quickly the 'Dine at DCA' tickets went?
That was a nothing 'event'..yet it sold out in no time.
Yeah...this will be a 'must do' for many.
And this will of course give Disney the confirmation that the public loves such offerings, and will move ahead with more next season.
And that is fine...for those who want to pay for these events.
As long as it does not take away from the normal Day Guest experience...
Let us not have some of the issues 'infecting' WDW's operations invade and corrupt DLR's, please.
Keep the two properties unique and 'separate'.

I love Halloween, but this year is too much.

this is just the beginning... and in the end, disney will have corroded the DL experience to be just as bad as WDW. i promise you that.
also, i wouldn't be surprised at all if, next year after this event ostensibly sells out in 3 seconds cause the general public eats these events up, the parade and fireworks are made event-exclusive as a "perk"
ya know, unprecedented (manufactured) demand and all that

I didn't hear anything about us being recruited as Santa's elves for an immersive experience.
Buckle up, recruit! We're going in and we're gonna make some toys!
But seriously... no kidding. I'm not buying a ticket for this until I know where I'm going to be a resident of during the event.
Will I be a resident of the North Pole during a frantic toy making session before a midnight deadline? (don't say Christmas!) Will I be a townsfolk of Main Street USA during a Winter Holiday Shopping Spree? (don't say Christmas!) Or will I be a royal subject of a snow-bedecked Fantasyland during the merriest time of year? (don't say Christmas!)
What is my role here? What is my motivation? You can't expect me to shell out $165 for 4 hours if I don't know what I'm a jolly, merry, joyous, happiest time of year that has nothing to do with Christmas resident of. Give me something to work with!

All kidding aside (but seriously, don't you dare say Christmas!), I do appreciate that they continue to use the incorrect spelling of the word night in this promotion.
Merriest Nites
Just like Date Nites, since 1958. Or Grad Nites since 1961. It's a very mid-century commercial spelling of that word. Probably something only done in America. Good for TDA for ignoring the dorky metric system and spelling it this way!
