Well that thread seemed to be mostly about complaining about the event. The actual questions were getting lost in all the whining. So I thought it might be good to have a different thread where those who actually booked the event could ask questions and share info. I have additional questions also but that thread didn't seem right for the people who are excited about the event. But whatever,... I don't post much (for this reason) so I wasn't aware that there were regulations about how many threads per topic...
No regulations!! I know what you mean... crankiness begets crankiness online, right?!
But don't be afraid -- some of us on that other thread ARE jazzed about it and say so.
Here's what I pasted together from the Disney website and FB post from yesterday -- some duplication, obviously...
Villains’ Sinister Soiree: A Wicked Takeover of Cinderella Castle
--> Disney FB post, with answer to a question below by Disney rep:
Lady Tremaine takes over Cinderella’s Royal Table after everyone has gone to bed, and she’s invited some of the most evil friends and special guests for a decadent dessert party (maybe you’ll see the Evil Queen, Maleficent, Cruella de Vil or Dr. Facilier?).
Lady Tremaine will welcome guests, and her personal piano player provides live music. (She’ll sing a few haunting solos while guests enjoy the delicious desserts inspired by the villains.)
Cost is $99 ages 3 and older, plus tax (gratuity included). Admission to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is required – this is a separate ticketed event not included in Magic Kingdom Park admission.

We are booked for Sept 19. I am trying to figure out if this is more of a wishes buffet thing or a true "character meal." It is only supposed to last 30 minutes as far as I can tell so they have to cycle through 100-200 guests and 5 characters in a really short time. Not sure how that is gonna work. And is photo pass going to be there or is it personal cameras only like a normal time at CRT?
