New MK Paid Disney After Hours Event Announced

If they throw in a cupcake there will be plenty of people saying what a bargain this is.

A Be Our Guest cupcake!

Maybe the 150 includes your day ticket AND the special 3 hours? That would make sense to me. If it is 150 just for 3 hours then I'm at a loss. And like the op if they start closing the park earlier because of it then I'll be ticked!

Some of you that have been going to WDW for years...wasn't there a paid after hours event before EMH?

Yes, and it was about $10! I think it went up to $12ish before they stopped it.

Two situations this might be worthwhile...

1) If you were just going to purchase a single day ticket only, might be fun to go at night instead with lower crowds, especially in mid-summer when daytime is scorching.

2) We do about half our trips onsite and half offsite, with EMH a contributing factor (love MK midnight to 2 am in July!!) Since we only do evening EMH, we could save a fortune by staying offsite and do this instead. Even at $150pp, it wouldn't cost even close to the thousands we save getting a condo for a week offsite.

But overall, I think they are crazy. Compared to other hard ticket parties (and we loved MVMCP!), this just seems ridiculous.

It's official...Disney has lost their ever lovin' mind! They are price gouging and the whole purpose to paying extra to stay on site is to get the perks...since I booked in January they are dwindling away and if they do away with EMH I'll be not a happy camper

If 150 is the price just for 3 hours no way, hell no, and if this is the end of emh, it will be the end of us staying on site. We are staying offsite this year already. That trend could easily continue with rumored new resort fees, and end of EMH if that does indeed happen.

I just checked the date to see if it was April's Fools day.

I know, right...however, too many reliable sources are reporting this one. And it's not at all surprising considering the decisions Disney has been making lately...

I seriously cannot even comprehend $600 for my family of 4 to spend 3 extra hours at MK unless its got free food and drinks and some special meet and greets and shows.

And even then I probably wouldn't spend the money.

Yeah, It cost $12 with tax. 3 hours at MK after closing.

Let's not go crazy here. This event is only $149 they can't be that lavish.

Yes there was, E-ride nights. Same thing (E-rides open and characters wandering) but for $10 (that's ten, no mistake, it was that cheap), and max attendance was 5000, so it was empty.

It was really awesome.

It really was. I have amazing memories of doing E-ticket nights at MK with my kids when they were pre-teens. So much fun.

 

[DisneynBison]

Just to put that price into a little perspective. For that same 3 hour cost You can go from a 3 day parkhopper ticket ($359) to a 10 day park hopper ($477) for $32 less.

If ya think about it though people will pay for it. Remember villians soiree making halloween party be about $200 where people bought it without even KNOWING what it was? Or the premium food and wine for $200 that came with no details at release? People will pay for anything!

 

[keaster]

That price seems quite outrageous. But...my money says people will pay it and they will sell out.

I guess if they could bump up the Villains thing at HS from $99 to $129, $149 for 3 hours at MK is supposed to be a bargain.

It really does seem like they will get rid of EMH, not now, but in a not too far future.

I sure do miss those $8 E-Nights.

It's moments like this that make me feel so blessed to be part of the 1%

EDIT: This post failed.

 

[robinb]

So much for everyone who hoped they'd ever bring back E-ticket nights for $10!

I KNOW! I thought the same thing !

All joking aside they could roll out Walts Frozen Head and I wouldn't pay those admission fees.
