I agree, it's sad really. At the same time why change it up when it sells out each year with no changes. Cause it's the only family friendly Halloween even in town it will always do well. IMO Universal does Halloween much better
Seaworld also has a family friendly offering during the daytime included with the park ticket. Plenty of trick of treating, fun costumes, neat entertainment; it’s just a harder sell due to the lack of family attractions at the park that hopefully is addressed soomer rather than later
True, but, at the same time, as @GiveMeTheMusic pointed out, Oogie Boogie sold out pretty much immediately prior to any announcements about any potentially new offerings. And yet the event still got new offerings. Meanwhile, MNSSHP hasn’t sold out yet. Why is that?
They don't care about WDW. Sorry to say it but to the leaders WDW is there for the money it makes. What gets me is the amount of posts from people hating what's going including this party yet continue to go.
To an extent, those who run the DLR are in it for the money, too. However, I do think the DLR benefits from its size and status. It’s not a behemoth of a theme park resort with a gazillion factors going for it. There are two parks, a shopping center, and three hotels; I believe it’s easier, in some ways, for it to operate almost like a mom & pop shop, whereas WDW is the more corporate one because of its design, sheer size, and overall appeal (DLR can be corporate at times, too). The “blessing of size” seems to not have really worked in its favor, specifically in terms of what we’ve been talking about recently in this thread (putting in effort for new things to offer its fans). And to be fair, DL guests still show up at the parks, no matter what, too.
But they give out the best candy!!!!
DLR special events are notorious for selling out quickly. Mahalloween 2014, for example, lasted about 18 hours IIRC... 400 guests over 4 hours on the 29th of Sep got to experience snacks, drinks, Imagineer presentations and Hawai'ian music for an hour each, and each paid $125 for the privilege. The swag was nice, tho'.
Wow! The last 3 Fridays at $179 and a $159 Sunday.
I'm surprised they haven't surged the prices to $225 and $224.99 for the remaining ones.
We know why. But many others refuse to see why.
What makes no sense to me is the simple changes or additions that need to be made cost them basically nothing in comparison to what they charge and again can probably charge an extra $1 per ticket to offset that cost lol…
Exactly! If we’re comparing the changes at the DLR, all it would take is a few costumes and hiring several actors to play character parts. That’s it.
Exactly… ive been preaching this. You cant tell me and convince me if you pay someone a few hundred bucks per party they are gonna say no to a 6-7 hour gig
