Aug 23rd Villlains impact on crowds

[LoveMMC]

Hello

Excited about our last week of August trip.
This villain event.... Last one sounded like a mad house - will this drive up crowds for the last week?
I am hoping it won't with just locals and big fans making an extra effort to come.

Any predictions?

I will be at DW that week, but if I have to pay extra, I will avoid it. My AP's expire on the 27th. Too bad (for me) that it wasn't after my AP's expire, then I would definitely go.

I'm wondering what it will do to crowds that day! I heard it was absolutely crazy at DHS last year--does that mean other parks are empty? Will it start late in the day? I have that planned as our DTD day and I'm now wondering if it will be a zoo.

We're there from the 20th to the 26th. Afraid it may now be much busier than I was planning.

But the Villains event was free last year wasn't it? This isn't.

Yes it was. This is a hard ticket event and I will be going..

Please everyone that was planning on going between September 3-14 please move up your trip and go to this even.

I didn't even think about this. We were hoping for lighter crowds, so I hope this doesn't mean that people will push up their vacations.

I'd think that a lot of people are trying to take advantage of free dining starting the 31st, and I can't imagine people giving that deal up for this event...but you never know.

We never get to take advantage of special events, so I'm excited about this one. We're planning on getting tickets since we'll be there that week.
