After hours are here to stay.

This is from Mansionbutler84 over at WDWmagic.

I’m sure many will say, “saw this coming,” but I’m told Chapek has paid some attention to after hours parties and decided that, going forward, he wants to give guests what they’ve been asking for. We’ve been complaining that parties are too crowded for years. Apparently, After Hours events will be the plan going forward, although they can keep some entertainment (e.g. parade and fireworks, but not stage show; or some other mix—closer to this year’s Christmas event than Boo Bash).

Crowd levels will be very limited and cost will be in the $150-200 range moving forward.

I'm good with changing to after hours parties. MVMCP and MNSSHP were so overcrowded they were miserable to attend. I do hope they add some regular after hours events in the future.

I really hope they don't price out the experience for families.

Win-Win for Disney. Kick out people who only paid $100+ and make up for it by charging $200 for a few hours of park time with limited staffing. Beautiful for them and, for some reason, people will eat it up.

They’re not kicking anyone out for after hours…hence the name. The other parties were worse b/c they were more crowded so not worth it for those who did pay extra & also cut park hours short to regular guests.

I agree with everyone’s assessment that these events are a cash grab and yet… we did so much more and had much more fun that at the crowded MNSSHP by a lot. Much more expensive, yes, but a worthwhile splurge for our family of four
