I just may have to be dead the next morning at the conference, but I am doing this if offered Aug 1! LOL

I wouldn't worry about it being extra crowded. If it's too crowded, the bloggers won't give it positive reviews and that would hurt Disney's bottom line. Also, the bloggers will be checking out the new things more than the rides that they already know so well. Just my 2 cents.

Sorry, by crowded I’m wondering if it will be DAH crowded or MNSSHP crowded

 

[Disney_Ummi]

Yeah I am trying to nurse my broken heart right now. At least now I can get on with my planning.

Same here.

I feel like this crowd level will be increased over a regular DAH...inching up towards party levels?

anyway, Im going

Oh I hope crowds wont increase! Anyway I'm going too

They still cite the whole DAH "limited wait times" spiel, so I would anticipate the crowds will be much closer to DAH crowds than MNSSHP crowds, at least at first.

They just released June dates and it looks like they will most likely close park to all except hard ticket holders at 10pm since even begins technically at 10pm to 1am...That's my opinion. I am a DVC member and an AP holder and getting frustrated with such early park close times so Disney can hold special events and get more money. Summer used to be a time when parks where open later which they should be since they are more crowded with peak summer crowds. More and more we are going to NOT be going to parks and just enjoy our resort and other activities. FRUSTRATED more and more despite trying to remain positive and.

I complety agree. We are AP and DVC too, and I feel like at some point the AP will fall off and we just do resort stays before or after a cruise or something like that.

I really hope this doesn't permanently replace the regular DAH at MK. Do you guys think it will?

That's what I was wondering.

 

[Cinderumbrella]

I’m thinking this is DAH at least through October (even tho they are rare in September & October).

It is certainly my concern as well. I guess we won't know until the next release of DAH dates. Hard to imagine them going back down in price though.

The idea of this Villian event in theory sounds very cool. But is it worth the money? As WDW vets who visits in June since 2007 we do love the late evenings. I would love a little more offerings for the price. It would of been awesome if they just added a Villian stage show during the EMH evenings for the summer. But they found a way to gain an extra buck. So it is Halloween on Thursday nights, basically.

Yes Disney better be true to their word on limited wait times. I guess we will find out.

I'm very much looking forward to reviews on this. Makes me wonder if they will roll out some Christmas themed ones later lol

If they cap it at the same levels as they have been, then no, it won't increase crowd levels over that of a "sold out" event.

It’s hard to tell but I think they might’ve found a way to increase the number of tickets sold and they’re capitalizing on that. I could see them doing different themed after hours like they do at DL. I’ve always been jealous of those events and wanted them at wdw. We won’t buy tickets until the event is reviewed so it’ll be a last minute trip and if it’s sold out we just won’t go

Yay Yes! They have one on our Thursday! Ouch on the price increase

Am I missing something here? It is a $14 price increase per person ($15 for same day, like there will be any available) and realistically there is increases costs for Disney, realistically the higher costs do have to be passed on somehow, either they would need to run fewer attractions, shops, etc. during the party or they have to increase the cost in order to keep the same profit margin on the parties, which is actually probably only around 25% profit for them as it is.

Except, July 1, which is a Monday replaces July 4.
