I'm doing the same! Fly in after work on Wednesday, lounge by the pool Thursday morning, Villains!, fly home Friday morning. Can I ask why you picked that week? I'm struggling to pick a week. I can't decide if 6/6 would be best (people are waiting on reviews before booking, fewer people in the park) or if a random week in July (hotter, but by then the rush is worn off) would be better.

I was going to shoot for the 6/6 one but I wanted to have reviews of the first one to know what to expect before going . We had to go in June because I’m going to Nashville in July and in an non-Disney Florida vacation in August. The later weeks in June flights were more expensive so June 12-16 won lol! Plus we got a great AP rate at Caribbean Beach

What was the wait time for the lines that were “too long”?

I skipped Jungle Cruise because the line was too long for me, but it was before the start of the event. I don't remember what it was posted as, but I saw the line and called an audible. It was a good call because we walked right on Pirates. BTMRR was posted at 20. I didn't get a look at the line, so I don't know how accurate it was.

This is a great option for locals or people just passing through Orlando for 1 day but I am priced out. $140pp on top of the regular park admission is just too much.

regular park admission prices keep rising and the hours get shorter and shorter due to paid mornings and paid after hours & then never ending parties. I know things change but I'm a little bitter that the good old days of being rewarded for staying on property with worthwhile extra morning and evening hours are gone.

The only way I would consider after hours (at this price) is if Disney announced dates well in advance so we could purchase a few special tickets instead of regular admission. I'm sure this is why Disney adds these type of dates so last minute, they want the double dip.

So bummed the Villains dates end a week before our stay

Going to DAH tonight! Can’t wait!!!

Do we know the details about when these tickets go on sale? I know its 4/29 but will they be available online or only by calling? What time? Will most likely be going to the 6/13 party and don't want to miss out!

Planning on attending the Villains event on June 6 as our last park day. Anybody know what time the tickets will go onsale on 4/29?

Have fun tonight, everyone who is going. Here's my advice -- do Mine Train as late as you can hold off. And if you can work it, hit HM after the crowds have thinned. The CMs have fun with you if it's small crowd.

We have 16 May booked. Plan is to do the outdoor rides and fit everything else around them - Splash if it isn't too cool, Mine Train, Jungle Cruise and Big Thunder. We'll do the People Mover if it's running. Probably can skip Astro Orbiter and Dumbo, but we'll see. Any others worth doing at night that should be prioritised?

I have a hard time imagining it being too cool for Splash in May! Even in the evening it feels nice and toasty to me, but I am sensitive to the heat.

We did splash last year in March.

We've been to Disney in January, February, March and May and it's never been too cold for Splash. One year was too cold for me to get in the pool (though the kids thought it was fine!) but never too cold for Splash. You really don't get that wet on the ride.

Yep! Have some Fastpasses to use first!

I hate to disagree but you can definitely get wet on splash. When we rode last March my niece and I got completely soaked. I’m talking all the way through my clothes soaked: tops and bottoms.

Well sure, there's a random chance of getting wet, but I still haven't been to Disney when it was too cold to ride Splash. And certainly not trying to start an argument about the wetness of Splash Mountain. Just saying that we've been on Splash at 11 p.m. in February and loved it.

I wasn’t starting an argument. I was just saying you can totally get wet on it....

I think this Villains DAH is a little pricey, especially since there are no meet and greets. The stage show seems to be a “people eater” designed to draw people away from the rides, so maybe people won’t notice if they start to increase the crowd size by selling more tickets.

Hope everyone has an awesome time tonight!!!
