I hope the system doesn’t crash when I try to get tickets on September 4th like it did last year!
The prices sure are a lot more than they have been in the past. While the cost is high, we find that we can fit everything in to the night!
We are now hoping for the DVC Moonlight Magic nights that align with our visit.
Wowzers! Those are getting expensive, but they have been among the most awesome things we’ve done at Disney, and I’d pay that money to do them again!
Fingers crossed that everyone who wants tickets can get them, without Disney IT issues.
The prices are getting out of hand and there are no discounts (DVC or Passholder) to be had. We did book the event today because we are staying on site. The general public can purchase them September 10th.
Anyway, we will have a great time regardless of the price.
I am shocked by the pricing of these tickets. It is for an event that is only 3 hours long. I would imagine the crowds and wait times are much lower or at least they better be because that is mostly what you are paying for with these special events. It wasn’t but just a few years ago that these were called Extra Magic Hours and they were free to guests staying onsite at a Disney Resort.
