Disney World Introducing $150 Paid After Hours Event At Magic Kingdom

You can count us out too, we normally travel as a family of 4, that would be $600.00 or $200.00 an hour, Yikes!

Like BrerGnat said, plenty of people will pay it, especially during peak seasons when you stand in line for each ride for 2 hours all day and this would give you the chance to ride more with lighter crowds.

Sounds like the rumor is that this $150.00 fee is also in addition to your regular day park admission, not for an all day and extended pass. Can anyone confirm?

We are going to be there for one of the dates in April. I cannot justify spending more than the price for a single day's ticket for only 3 hours in the park. Without anything else added in, I feel that this is a horrible value.

You know, the more I think about this, the less expensive it seems. I mean, people pay (IMO) ridiculous amounts of money for these following "experiences" every day at WDW: character meals, "dessert parties", fireworks cruises, etc. All those things run several hundred dollars for the average family. And they are, by and large, short experiences with minimal "extras."

It's official.

I really miss those days!! The park was almost empty, and we did every E-night they offered each trip!!

Limited to the number of tickets they can sell, I'm sure!

Wow, yet another money grab. Who would have ever thought. Mickey is getting a little too desperate and needy for me to continue this relationship. I'll check back in if and when he gets a little counseling...

Probably can't with it stuck in your pocket the whole time, but maybe!

:funny:

Having seen this would start at 11pm on the dates we are there I can't see it happening, even if I wanted to pay that much!

That has been the trend, hasn't it? I seem to recall some consternation when "limited tickets" for some event had a park packed and hours long waits for character meet-and-greets (didn't this happen for the Villian's Party?).

We did the Christmas party back in November and it was packed like a regular park day. The limited ticket special events are only limited by how many are willing to buy tickets.

If they're gonna do this I hope they greatly reduce the price for on-site staying guests. What a rip-off!

Why would they do that? Onsite guests get EMH already for free. The point is to get those OFFSITE guests to pay for this perk on non EMH nights.

As long as it doesn't replace EMH for Resort guests, I'm fine with it!

Interestingly, last summer we participated in the DVC Beach Bash at Typhoon Lagoon. We had a blast! There were stations set up with complimentary drinks and ice cream treats which sounds a lot like the refreshments at this event. While we were there, we were discussing why they would offer an event like this and brainstormed that they may be testing it for a new pay event. Afterwards, we completed a survey and were asked if we would be willing to pay for an event like the Beach Bash at other parks. Sounds like enough people said yes! I think $149 is way too much. I too remember E-ride nights before kids and we have great memories of these fun nights.
