Annual Passholders, Saturday nights will never be the same....

[ConnieB]

Just got this email.....

http://harambenights.mydisneyresorts.com/



wondering if anyone has more details? It says "Look for more details soon"....but of course, I don't want to wait, lol. I'll be there in May....is that summer? How about September?

Ok, all you with insider information, please!?!?!

Yeah this email is throwing me for a loop. It looks like something to go in Africa in AK. The colors almost look like world of color from DL. But why would that be passholder only?

 

[L&Lfan]

I wonder if it's passholders only during a "testing" phase.

Hmmm, my email has not come through yet. Very curious...

I just got this email as well...now my curiosity has peaked ! We are annual pass holders, and will be there in 2 week. I hope we are able to participate in whatever it is

Me too, we are there thru may 25. How that counts as summer.

The "tastes" part makes me feel like it something to do with food.

Can anyone copy the email here? I did not receive it.

"Annual Passholders, mark your calendar for Saturday nights this summer where you can enjoy an all-new, never-before-seen, immersive experience.

Look for more details soon, because the grandest tales and tastes of Africa are going to come alive like never before."

There is also a video, but I couldn't watch it at work.

Thanks. I wonder what the dates will be. I don't think end of May will be considered summer. Maybe this will still be going on on early September when we're there.

If there's food involved, I'm sure it will cost a lot of money.

Click the link in the first post, it goes to a website copy of exactly what was in the email.

I wonder if it's something similar to the "after hours" party in EPCOT. Not sure though why that would be an AP only event. At $35 a pop for a drink and some appetizers, not really a big draw so far in EPCOT.

I believe this is a new special event called "Harambe Nights". More details HERE. Starts June 7 with pricing starting at $134.

Two interesting things coming out of this. Firstly, this event uses the new Harambe Theater (the new FOTLK theater), so because the even starts on June 7, we can infer that the theater will be open before then. This aligns with rumors that the new theater will be opening around June 2 or so.

Finally, this event is a test for a more comprehensive nighttime experience at DAK to debut along with Rivers of Light (new DAK nighttime spectacular) and Avatar-land. All part of Disney's goal to make DAK a "full day park". Kinda similar to what they're doing with SWW this year.

This is very exciting!

Thanks for posting!

I NEVER get annual passholder emails. I have an annual pass! How do I go about getting added to these emails?

$134 dollars! I guess not that bad if it's a show and drinks (as long as you drink a lot)

Hmmm,...to each his own, I guess.
Definitely won't be a draw for us.

We will pass on this, leaving more space for those of you who find it appealing!
You're welcome!!!

I wonder if this will continue after summer? Probably depends on the success I imagine.
