Anybody else catch that the number of open attractions for the villain event is “more than 20” while its currently “more than 25”

I wonder what (if anything) is being excluded?

Looks like Aug 8th for us. Back to planning and reorganizing as I was assuming a Saturday like last year

Hmmm interesting

I just really wish our only choice wasn’t opening night. Why??????

Ours too for the most part. We could go on the 13th but since we are leaving the 14th and have a long drive back to Texas we need a good nights sleep before hitting the road at 7am. I'm just trying to look a the positive because they have never offered this in early June before. Making lemonade here.

I’m thinking some of the normal meet & greets?

Pull an all nighter? Lol

That wouldn’t be terrible but they aren’t offering new ones so some people could be upset about that

That would be fine for me. I am naturally a night owl. I could just sleep in the car on the way home. My morning loving hubby would be struggling though.

We always do energy drinks even though we know they aren’t good for us. Last July we did dah until 12 I think (might’ve been 1) then the magical express picked us up at 3:30 am lol

Hi all. It’s our very first trip to Disney in the Summer and coming from UK. Apologies if this has already been discussed and I missed it but We were hoping to do an DAH at MK whilst there. Is it possible that regular DAH events will also be offered in addition to the Villian themed ones ?Or is that the Villian theme is replacing the regular events for the Summer? Would prefer just to do a regular DAH event at MK if we have the choice but equally don’t want to miss out altogether! I’m guessing the regular DAH dates wouldn’t be offered until after 29th April either?? Appreciate any thoughts/help

I’m 99% sure these are replacing the summer dah events. You could still do the normal dah events at hs and ak

Well shoot. We will be at WDW July2-10 and nothing is on any of those nights.

Considering bumping our weekend August trip to do the August 8th DAH with the Villains. Am I wrong to assume these tickets will sell out very quickly, meaning I can't wait until the first party in June to see reviews and decide?

Does HEA ever change times? IF I do this 6/6 villain thing, HEA is scheduled for 9:15 with a 10pm park close (and 1am event ending). Could HEA change?

 

[mamamelody2]

Dang. Was hoping dates went through the end of August as we're arriving 8/29. Well, hopefully it will still be offered that day! It was last year (Thursday 8/30).

The villains event sounds cool to me. Maleficent wandering around at night sounds AMAZING!

Anything is possible with the park schedule, but it is very unlikely to change. Once things like dessert parties and such have been bookable (which they are here), you rarely see fireworks times change. I’d all but bet it won’t change.

Hope that helps.

I’m the opposite. I think that first night will be slammed with vloggers and such. We were goI got to MK that day.

that’s when we will be there. I’m thinking a sell out and all the vloggers will be there as well. We have a regular day ticket and I think this is going to slam the park from 6-10 so we are switching our MK days now. Bummed.

They probably will be, but there are also people who will wait to see what the bloggers say before deciding whether or not to book. And, it could be a blessing in disguise! The Tim Tracker meet & greet is going to have a longer wait than half of the characters & divert crowds nicely.

(Kidding, but not. You know people accost this man & others daily.)

It does thanks! I am a bad DISer. I’ve never seen HEA. We take advantage of shorter lines instead. So I never pay attention to when they are and if they move.

That's what I was wondering

 

[Dallas_Lady]

Do you think this will adversely affect crowds earlier in the day? We were already planning to go to the MK in June 13th. We’ve got ADRs that will make changing plans difficult.
