Someone asked about it back in August over on Touring Plans. Park hours then showed MK closing at 6pm with no party scheduled.

In the 7 figures for the entire MK for an evening during what would otherwise be regular hours or Halloween party.

Gartner takes over Boardwalk when they are there. Experienced it first hand (not as a part of the conference - as a registered regular 'ol Dolphin Guest). Not sure how I even got a room there (but somehow I managed to).
Had no idea about the conference. Put it this way, I got my parking and resort fee waived plus got a few thousand SPG points for my trouble. They invaded everywhere. Nothing against the conference, but had I known I wouldn't have booked there. Other than loud raucous parties at the bar (and sometimes overheard in the hallways), the impossibility of eating anywhere at the resorts and other places in Boardwalk due to "private parties", the outdoor stage situated between the Swolphin where they held something I can't even classify - everything was good.
Don't want to be a Debbie Downer, cause I've been on the other side. Two weeks from now I go to World Travel Market in London and I'll be part of the group they lodge complaints against. So it's all good.

Yep. I will be looking forward to it
Will be very interesting to see the park for an event like this. Tickets are included for attendees but if they want to bring someone it is $175 per person.
The host hotels are Swan & Dolphin with over flow into YC and GF. (update, hear they have people at 20 hotels for over flow)

Disney puts on a very good show in these types of scenarios. I may be one of the very few who has seen the Hoop-Dee-Doo Review in Dallas (as part of a conference several years back).
Enjoy.

Same company just paid Universal enough money for them to buyout USF Wednesday on what would've otherwise been an HHN night. To get Universal to cancel HHN for your event means you're dropping serious cash.
I never worked for them but Lehman Bros. loved going to WDW for corporate events up until 2008, then we know what happened to them..Having attended multiple corporate events at MK, I can say they're a blast and completely memorable.
That's something you don't see everyday at MK. Massive amounts of booze being consumed by thousands of guests. But it's a private event.Yep. I will be looking forward to it

Easily. It’s not common for a MK buyout to be the entire park - typically most spring for half starting with the half of Liberty Square that has the Haunted Mansion through Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Main Street.
It’s a super high price tag since it’s the full park, as well as food and alcohol, during a typically heavy attendance period due to the neighboring MNSSHP nights. Not to mention fireworks and event specific entertainment too.

Special Event Taking Place at the Magic Kingdom Park on October 22
Daily news, rumors, and photo-reports from all of Central Florida's theme parks, water parks, minor attractions, and more!
Many years ago a Saudi prince and his group rented the entire Florida Mall in Orlando late one night. Every store had to be opened and staffed and the group went on their spending spree.They're only "renting" for 5 hours? If I was filthy rich, I'd book the park for a whole day, just for my family. And I'd want it fully staffed too. With the parades, and HEA. And let me drive my Lambo around the park. Yeah.

Oh, I wouldn't spend a dime other than the booking cost. I would expect everything else to be free.
