'Villains Unleashed' hard ticketed event coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios in August

[Cody5242]

I'm enjoying myself. Sure it's crowded but I was able to see the Hades show and the Oogie Boogie show without much problem. I'm not big on meet and greets, so those crowds aren't bothering me. I'm at the dance party and there's a great vibe here so I'm just going to stay here until after fireworks

You've got to be kidding what's the point with all the lines being this long?!?!?!?!?! Anything for TDO to make more money, to hell with guest satisfaction

Seeing more of it on Twitter, I'm pretty sure they still are. Can't see many people turning up to buy tickets now though!

 

[Cody5242]

I've been to some HHN that are worse than this where most of the houses were 2+ hour waits

Mickey won in Fantasmic, rumored villain win did not happen.

No duh. That would cost a lot of money to rehearse, restage, re-record, etcetera.

HHN is more than just one night though.

Yeah - no real wait to meet Star Lord or Gamora

Who?

 

[Cody5242]

Who?

Star Lord man. Legendary outlaw

 

[Cody5242]

It looks like a lot of people have left. There's definitely less people here than there was a couple of hours ago or maybe they're at Fantasmic.

Yeah it's thinning up a little. Why would someone pay the ticket price and not see the fireworks?

 

[Bolt]

Merchandise line just cut off for the night.

It's in firework fallout - right?

It sounds like it was a disaster.... again.

So, why didn't they just add TONS of these villains to an already existing Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween party at a park that can handle more people, has more things to do, and more experience dealing with a separate ticket event.

Otherwise, if they are going to create another separate ticket event, they need to have multiple nights, sell less tickets per night, and actually prepare to handle the people with multiple locations for merchandise and food.

Or they could, you know, have the Villains available more regularly outside of events. Cut down the demand for them like I said before.

I read today that they are adding more villain stuff to Mickey's party. I guess it has to do with the DHS event.

I thought this new muppet film was a flop according to that panther fellow. Why was the line for Constantine so long?

 

[xstech25]

I can't decide if the fact that there is this huge market for "special" merchandise that always seems to show up at these events and form huge queues is funny or sad.

"Hey we just paid $70 to come to this place and have a great time. I've got an idea for how to spend an hour, line up to spend even more money on stupid crap that's probably made in Indonesia for pennies!"
I mean really, why would you do that?

Tonight has been a challenge for sure. Walked right into the first Oogie Boogie's show. Then we hopped over to Fantasmic. Pre show was beyond lame. Would have been awesome if the villains won tonight since the frigging pre show people only hinted at it 3 times. The line for Toy Story was only 20 minutes so we did that. Stalked a few random star wars characters. Now we are waiting for the fireworks. I'd like to smack the person who decided 12:45 was a good time for fireworks. Tonight definitely wasn't worth $70 but whatever.

 

[Victoria]

I'd estimate that about 30% of the original crowd is left here. That's means about 70% opted not to stay for the fireworks.

The elbow to elbow crowd all up and down Hollywood Blvd says otherwise.

 

[roj2323]

anyone care to post crowd photos

 

[Mike S]

Just have to say I appreciate you guys posting from the event. I don't use Twitter so this is all I've got lol.

^ That looks like a relatively normal line at GR though..

Maybe it's time everyone stopped rewarding TDO for slapping together character dance parties and a DJ and a couple pieces of merchandise and calling it a special event.
