My wife and I will be there tomorrow night and I can tell you first hand that I got a notification that our fast passes were cancelled and new fast passes for an earlier time were issued. I got this notification a week or two ago. Nothing else was said. We've been planning this night for months so it surely is a bummer.

Who's the big spender?
And why on earth would they pick animal kingdom?

Right?! Maybe they didn't have enough cash for MK and didn't want to completely cheap out on DHS.
Any company that can rent out sections of a park has some serious cash flow and having a very good year. And a great way to celebrate at WDW!Right?! Maybe they didn't have enough cash for MK and didn't want to completely cheap out on DHS.

Does anybody know how often they've done this in the past (at any of the parks)? And do we think it's going to be more common?

Because they couldn't afford DHS or MK and wanted to have a part of a park for themselves no matter the cost. ;-p

It's fairly common, really depends on who is having conferences/conventions in the area. Uni does it a fair amount as well. Think Microsoft has rented out both US and IoA for the night when they are in town for Ignite (25k attendees or so). I think the early closure is a bit more unique, usually they will just take it from like 9P - Midnight, basically private extra magic hours type scenario.

If memory serves, it happens a few times a year.

It's probably cheaper to rent out a park than people might think.
Disney sells After Hours events that generate (estimating) 3,000 people x $150 = $450,000.
That's small change for many large companies.

What after hours event has had only 3,000 people in the last 20 years?

Attendance at the After Hours evenings has been estimated to be in that range.
Not the Halloween or Christmas parties which are higher.

I stopped going to MVMCP a decade ago when it seemed the crowd was around 30,000.

It’s still not that high. I insist you count again. I like to give Mickey tats to avoid double-counting.

The FPs were changed, mostly to anytime ones.
