Didn't make it to the party but saw the fireworks perfectly from Pop 90's bldg. great view from the pool area.
Are you kidding????
Disney Resort Guests only????
That will NEVER happen!
if more people used disney busses this would me a much smaller problem.....so let me hear about you driving to the parks eveyday so you dont have to wait for a bus...nights like this should only be for disney resort guests ONLY using provided transport.....
The PP lost me big time with that idea.
I'm wondering with all the reports of the crowds and such, was this event open to Cast Members? Maybe all the ones who had off + the excitement of a non-ticketed event to the general public?
I went to Leap Year Celebration and the crowd level was fine until the other parks closed and the Cast Members all got off work! When we left, the wait times were insane (over an hour) at 2:30am!
Just wondering?

I won't even attempt to count the number of ways this is just wrong.
However, I think it is plain to see that Disney completely underestimated the crowds. A hard ticket event would have probably prevented most of the chaos.
With how popular the night was, I have to wonder if Disney will look at tonight's cash cow to become a new weekend ala Star Wars weekend.
Or worse a new hard ticket event on select nights.
If Disney made a Villians Weekend would you think they could sell it yearly?
I think Disney would be crazy not to at least consider some options after tonight.
How long before someone here comes up with the original idea for a whole park centered on villains?

karmutt said:My hope would be to have them incorporate something like this into the pre-existing Halloween party, at least on a few nights. It would suck to have them close another park early at the same time of year. I'm sure some of the problem with tonight was that vacationers were looking for someplace else to go, and HS was the park of choice, since it was the only place open.
There is a similar hard-ticket event after the Tower of Terror 10-Miler - The Disney Villains Hollywood Bash. It's from 10pm - 4am on October 5th this year. I'm a volunteer for the race, so I'll get to join after I finish my shift (at 2:30am).
I don't think its a crazy idea. When we first saw the hours were from 8 pm to 1 am we thought it might be EMH related, like a free party for resort guests. It would have cut out some of the crowds.
