Villains Unleashed , any dining packages

[Portugal1000]

Just see the Frozen package announced but haven't seen anything for Villains Unleashed. Haven't been able to get an ADR for that night since it was first announced. Find it hard to believe every restaurant was already booked so wondering if there will be any special dining options. Hope I didn't miss an announcement. Anyone heard anything?

I believe the TS restaurants are closing early on that day specifically to prevent non-party guests from booking late ADRs and then slowly leaving DHS after the party is underway. No mention of a dessert party yet.

The TS restaurant appears to just be a rumor. Plenty of us still have TS ADRs from 4-7 and they haven't been canceled. The TS restaurants booked up really fast after the party was announced. But there have been available ADRs here and there since. Keep trying!

Not a complete rumor. Reservations at Brown Derby post 430PM have been cancelled. None of the other restaurants yet, though.

What Disney does for the other Hard Ticket events/parties is you can book an ADR RIGHT up to 7p. But you'll be escorted out of the park if you do not have a party ticket and leave the TS after 6:59pm.

For a number of years people would crash the hard ticket parties, by hiding in TS till about 8-8:30 then most of of the patrols had stopped, and you could watch the parades and fireworks, get treats, and shop for exclusive party merch.

Prior to that the policy was the park closed at 6(?) and everyone had to leave the park, the exception was if you had a ticket you could "enjoy tomorrowland" while they cut things over.

NOW that I think about it....
Once MB is fully functional, they should be able to figure out who is in the park with out a party ticket. They have Entrance Records for everyone that comes into the park, they can get Exit Records same way they are doing the photo matching. They could put a few bulk readers around places like the Hub and know when someone that doesn't have a party ticket is there send a message to a CMs iPad telling them who to look for.

Could it be they decided to do a special add-on at the Brown Derby? something like a $200 per plate villains themed TiW event.

Last December, we were at three MVMCP and at each party there were large groups of guests without party wristbands still taking in the party highlights: CTS, Totally Tomorrowland, etc. From our parade viewing spot at the tip of Town Square, we watched guests who timed it perfectly to be escorted out of the dining venue at the same time the parade was coming up Main Street.

I'm sure non-Villain Party guests, will time their departure accordingly.

That's the current suspicion but nothing has been released officially. It's all speculation right now until Disney comes out and says something.
