The post doesn't mention anything about "limited attendance", are you just assuming that based on the price?

From DPB

"In case you aren’t familiar, Disney After Hours is a special event that’s open to a limited number of guests and offers low wait times at more than 20 attractions and experiences after the park closes to day guests, from classics like the Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Space Mountain, to newer favorites like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, plus many more. Event tickets also allow entry as early as 7 p.m., which gives you time to enjoy fireworks before heading off to the attractions. Ice cream novelties, popcorn and select bottled beverages are also included in the cost of admission."

Well, the DIS article is wording it as an addition to the After Hours Events and cites the limited attendance:

"One of the things that makes this event so special is that it’s only open to a limited number of park guests each night. Much lower wait times are typically encountered"

Now, if they don't limit the crowds and these feel as crowded as the regular parties then I don't think it is great and I wouldn't do it

Probably - considering it's right in the middle price-point wise between party tickets and DAH tickets, and DAH is usually pretty limited attendance.

Um, I'm pretty sure this event is priced higher than both the Halloween parties and other DAH. I guess I didn't pay much attention to the MNSSHP ticket prices for this year. Did they go up significantly?

What do you think the attendance difference is between DAH and MNSSHP or MVMCP?

Higher than MNSSHP but the DAH events are $125. If this villains one is $109 that plants it right in the middle.

Ant-Man and The Wasp in Hong Kong doesn't appear to be much of a success so far. Wait times are rather non-existent for a brand new attraction.

I saw part of a ride through of it on YouTube and it really seemed kinda lame. It’s a more high tech version of the current buzz set up, which I guess was the goal, but it’s not groundbreaking by any means.

Honesty, buzz lightyear/toy story is a stronger property than ant man/wasp who are secondary marvel characters. I don’t think they thought it fully through

 

[umichigan10]

SO - Halloween party during the summer but with no candy or parade or fireworks, but they're going to charge more. Sounds great, I'm sure it'll be a big hit. How much longer until we can't even enter MK at night without paying extra. (Can you tell I hate these hard ticket events?)



Edit: Agree with this. Disney could literally have a "Villian meet only" event and charge $89 a ticket and people would line up. I don't get it myself, but I know it would work.

I’m with you 100%. It’s not my business how people spend their money generally, but if it’s going to negatively impact how far mine gets me, then people getting sucked into these things and encouraging them to slash hours in favor of these things really grinds my gears

DAH is much smaller than the holiday parties.

That's my bad. I said $109 above because that's with the $30 AP discount. It's actually $139 regularly.

Villains one is $109 if you are AP or DVC.

AHHHH gotcha - that makes it all the more likely that it'll be a much smaller crowd in the parks. That's an ouchie price per person for an event with no meet and greets.

 

[Iowamomof4]

Yeah, the price point is pretty hefty when you compare it to the offerings at MNSSHP. Hopefully the crowds stay low at DAH, even with these additions.

I’ll be curious to see if they keep offering these things whether or not they begin to slowly increase the number of tickets being sold like was done with the holiday parties.

@rteetz am I missing dates for DAH + Villains? I know June-Aug but I feel like I saw "thursdays" somewhere....

If they do I think they will lose their advantage. So many people love it right now because of the low crowds. If the crowds increase a lot then a lot of people will be upset as Disney bills this as a lower crowd event.
