First we've heard of a ticket number total that can be sold for the night: 12,000

How is that compared to MNSSHP?

Those numbers are usually closely guarded secrets.

I'll take an average estimate for a comparison.

Smells like desperation releasing the number

Is the number official or a guess by the author of the article?

I have to trust as a real journalist it's legit.

Has anyone tried to reserve Fastpasses for the attractions for this event? I have my band and my ticket listed on my account, but it won't let me reserve FP past daytime hours.

Special events don't run fast pass

Special "after hours" events aren't eligible for FP+ so you won't be able to book them. But trust me, with the amount of stuff that'll be going on tonight you likely won't need it anyway. Between the dance parties, Oogie Boogie show, Fantasmic,
Fireworks and all the meet and greets, they'll be plenty to keep everyone busy beyond the rides! Lines will likely be similar to those experienced at the hard ticket events at MK.

Huge queue already in place for merch

When I was working the Halloween parties last yer, I seem to remember 20,000 being thrown around as capacity for them.

Much bigger Park, much larger ride capacity. Magic Kingdom holds almost double the number of guests that studios can handle.

12k x $70 for a person… so that's $840,000 before parking, merchandise, food, etc.

Maybe they can do another one in January when it's not 90,000° outside.

I once visited WDW in September. God. I can't imagine going there in August...

It's something like visiting hell which is kinda fitting for an event hosted by Hades .

Lines are HORRID. This event has been WAY oversold for the lack of things to do.

Fantasmic isn't on the schedule tonight and the FP+ entrances are open although you can't book a FP+ thru the app. There are lines everywhere for virtually everything. This event is an unorganized mess.

I'm not sure what schedule you are referring to. But it's definitely listed on the event guide and posted on the sign outside the theater.

Constantine- 2+ hour wait
Malifecent 3 hour wait

Money more important than Guest experience

 

[mhead]

Less than one hour in lines already being cut off for the night.

The fun house was interesting. Fire eater and sword swallower.

A fight kicked off in the crowd.

 

[ptaylor]

The fant preshow is dull. Shouting and cheering contest - waste of time.

Sounds terrible. This is why the Villains should be out more often and not just restricted to events It would severely cut down all this pent up demand for them.
