Not if the other parks were on par with MK and had as much to do, the more things you have to do in a park, or in Disney's case, at a resort, the more you can spread your crowd out.
Its possible. But I don't see headliners like 7DMT or TSM or TT or Soarin or the new Avatar and Star Wars rides ever as walk ons even with that much expansion-which there will not be for decades.
My guess is when Toy Story Land, Star Wars Land, Avatar Land and Frozen are complete-7DMT will drop dramatically from 70 minutes to 55 minutes.
This ticket is only for the survey of "guaranteed" low crowds IMO, and will have a market-just not sure sustainable in size.
I think a lower price and it will always have a market.
Also look at US/IOA, the gold star in expansion apparently-still super long waits for many of the headliners. So what do they do? Reward higher paying "Deluxe" guests with an hour, or charge up to $150 ea for one park and one shot at non HP headliners.
If the other parks had more things to do, maybe we would spend more than a day at each and less than 3 at MK.
Maybe you would, maybe others would still want the walk on evening.
I see it as a lazy way of grabbing more money. I also think it'll take away from the "normal" day ticket, so for some its not an expansion, its a reduction of capacity.
I'm not sure staying open an additional 6 hours (my suggestion from 3) is lazy. UN/IOA closed at 6/7 last week when we were there, that's a lazy money grab to me.
Not sure how offering a night ticket reduces capacity and takes away from a day ticket.
And reduction in hours in the long term for those that only purchase the already expensive normal operating cost ticket. Mark my words, normal operating hours will be cut if after hours is successful
If true I agree. But there is a pretty good track record of WDW park hours. It would be pretty obvious during most seasons, and I would expect EMH to not go away of course.
Example: what if they offered one night a week (or every night actually) at AK from 10PM to 4AM when Avatar is done? Everybody knows that has never been offered. Heck even the current arrive at 7PM until 1AM or whatever would be new.
If it only sells 300 tickets in future dates, then it didnt really work and there isnt a market for it.
.
I made the exact same point in the quote you responded to:
But if it continues to sell only 300-it will go away on its own anyway, just like EPCOT after hours did.
I suspect its still early though. They could easily be setting up for the future. "Star Wars evenings", "Avatar After Hours" etc.
And with the success (for the guest),
a lower price would for sure sell IMO.
