I find it interesting that they opened it up to DVC- gave out that limit and then noted those were "sold out" to other DVC members, but that you can still get online at WDW's website and buy tickets for tonight. They either held some of the "capacity" back for any last minute anticipated sales, or they figure the few extra people they sell to at the last minute won't make a difference. MickeyMinnieMom please do report back. I'm very interested to see what the lines are like. I would not pay $470 for a few extra hours and a Mickey Head Ice Cream bar, but if I did, the only reason my family would do so would be to ride Peter Pan and 7DMT over and over. Our number of Peter Pan rides on an MK day has been severely limited since FP+ (luckily DD is older so she does not get upset like she would have when she was a preschooler, but she still would like to ride it more). My fear would be that a lot of the other attendees would have the same idea. I know at
MVMCP and
MNSSHP the lines for Peter Pan and 7DMT are still consistently long, while things like Space Mountain and BTMRR can be walk on. I am interested to see how long those lines are for a night without other events to draw people away like you see at the parties- and with this event supposedly limited to 6000. Doesn't 7DMT have a capacity of 1200 to 1400 people per hour and Peter Pan only 700 to 800 people per hour? . If that is the capacity and a good number of people bought tickets for short waits on those 2 rides, then the lines for those rides could still wind up being huge --particularly if for a given day people buy tickets to spread out their time among all the rides, and for a given 5 hour party people buy tickets for the party events, but for this high dollar event people bought tickets expecting shorter lines for 7DMT and Peter Pan. If so, that means that in the 3 hour period after park close if all 6000 people expected to ride 7DMT and Peter Pan- that neither ride could accommodate all the ticket holders for even 1 ride in that 3 hour period. I would be livid if I spent $470 for extra hours expecting short lines for Peter Pan and 7DMT and instead found lines for both at 40 minutes or more the whole time. It will be interesting to see what the reports are from tonight!
