DVC "Galactic Gathering" Cancelled

I'd pay $225 to avoid a dj dance party.

Besides the conjecture of the author of the article, is there any actual evidence this was cancelled due to low attendance?

That’s how my husband feels about YeeHa Bob.

I've seen parents dancing with their children, but if you are an adult dancing by yourself... it feels awkward!

I believe there are two reasons an event like this would be cancelled:

1. Someone else wants to rent out the park on the same night as the party
2. Low attendance

I think the latter is more likely. And they rarely announce the reason why, it's usually only known due to people "In the know" letting the cat out of the bag.

Agreed, same goes when there is a change in policies, no explanations given

Price for this was a disgraceful price gouge of DVC Members. We have had to endure some crap recently since new management took over DVC with the lockoff premium debacle, severe limits on resale (they lost a Riviera buyer here). I've now got to pay for grocery delivery (don't my dues pay my fair share of bell services?). Now I'm just waiting for paid Fastpass.
DVC is rapidly losing loyal member goodwill and is rapidly losing its best sales tool- positive word of mouth.

When the DVC opened in the early 90's it was a more affordable way to visit the WDW, and stay on property on a regular basis, that's why our family joined it... when did it become a way to price-gouge the most loyal Disney fans?

You are assuming that they actually care about loyalty.

To be honest that date was just a bad idea, it's the day before Star Wars Celebration starts. If there are a few days a year that the intersection between Star Wars fans and DVC people with money to spend on this kind of thing are the LEAST likely to be able to attend.

They don't seem to.

I also notice DVC Moonlight Magic lately has been a bit lacking from previous years. Still a better party than what others get ...
