Hoop-dee-doo and Poly Luau both cost around $70 per adult and include a meal plus beer and wine. They seem to be about in line with this offering. The $50 up-charge over those shows seems excessive. I think if I was closer to $90 it would be much easier to stomach. Maybe when we get more details there will be other things that make up for the extra cost.

Think these events will be the excuse to shut down the dinner shows once and for all? I seem to recall a PI manager saying there was no need for PI now that there were so many Halloween & Christmas parties

It's not becoming that, it's returning to it...or at least trying to.

Well played my friend
That would make things slightly more interesting now, wouldn't it?But at nearly $300 plus gas and babysitting $$$ for the wife and I to see a watered-down version of the original experience, and only 3.5 hours of it at that... eeeeehhhhhh...

Honestly how many things have been around well before MM to drive more revenue for WDW?
VIP Tour Services AK
Wild African Trek
Wild By Design
Backstage Safari
Backstage Magic
Behind The Seeds
Disney Dolphins In Depth
Epcot Divequest
Epcot Seas Aqua Tour
UnDISCOVERED Future World
VIP Tour Services Epcot
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
Disney Family Magic Tour
Keys To The Kingdom
Magic Behind Our Steam Train
Exocic Driving
NSSHP
MVMCP
Pirate Leauge
VIP Tour MK
Marceline To Magic Kingdom
And who know how many others much less the ones not offered anymore. How are these new event any different? Why the sudden linking to MM when event like this have been around for years and years?

This is true...and like most of those things this won't impact regular park guests. For people who choose to do this it's after hours and in addition to regular park offerings instead of replacing regular hours. I have no issue with Disney adding additional up-charge events like this.

Think for yourselfer
I think it speaks to how desperate we all are for something new at WDW that we are discussing this little event with such fervor.
Is this a rip off? Maybe?
I mean, how can we know, the details are so scarce, it's impossible to even know what you are getting for your $$$.

They gotta have something to whine about and MM+ is the new rallying point.

It does seem to be a focus point lately to thing that to me seem to have nothing to do with it.

They want to attract those who already have theme park admission. If they are saying you need valid admission, the majority of the people going to this event will be APs anyway.I still want to know why only AP holders received the email. Watch it will be something lame like we get first priority in being able to book

It's been said flat out, I believe by wdw1974, to expect more hard ticket events (in an effort to help recoup SOME of the cost of MM+.) It's not something just being made up. Whether it's entirely true or not, we don't know of course. It could have been his speculation. But it very well could be true so you can't say it's not, either. Just wanted to point that out in the effort of trying to be fair to everyone.
I'm not trying to argue that this is what that is, but it's likely why a lot of us are saying that. It's not just being said to be negative or to be sarcastic. Or to whine
And again, I personally don't see anyone telling others to not go and enjoy this and not to spend the money. It works both ways in terms of respecting an opinion, whether you agree with it or not. I do agree some posts are negative for the sake of being being negative, but that's not always the case either
We really really really need attractions to discuss and not booze parties
Can't we all just get along, lol

Agreed. At $60-80, I could see it being reasonable. But this seems excessive even if all the food and drink is included (which is not clear if that is the case). It better be one heck of a show.
Anyway, count me as one who doesn't think this (or the Epcot after hours thing) has anything to do with MM+ costs. Disney is always looking for new ways to separate you from your money and this is perfectly in line with stuff they've previously done like the Halloween/Christmas parties or the VIP tours.

Well, I'm not complaining, pretty glad they're bringing something back to AK for evenings. (Missing those nighttime EMHs.) We will not be participating in this though, the price is more than one way of our RT airfare. Folks who go: Enjoy! ... and please, write up reviews! (with pics )
Re thought on pricing: It may be higher, not due to the experience itself, but rather the extra personell needed to keep the park suitably open for guests. At this point we don't know if it's just dinner & a show or if they'll have a ride or two open. I want to believe that there will be at least one ride running.
