How does this work? We will be there and plan to upgrade our PH to APs on Sunday....would we be able to take advantage of the event? Would it even be worth the event with the crowds? What time is it going to be held? Looks like DL doesn't close until 10pm that night so is it held after the park closes?
And I highly doubt the parks will be a 3/4 any day next week with Season of Force opening on Monday. That seems way off.
